“…In this regard, as with other complex psychiatric conditions, it is likely that a multiplicity of risk factors-genetic, developmental, psychological, and cultural-will be shown to influence susceptibility to eating disorders, informing not only the development of empirically supported models of etiology, but also of prevention as well. 17,[19][20][21][22][23] For example, if adverse family factors can activate genetic susceptibility, perhaps protective family behaviors can be mobilized for the purposes of prevention. Whether or not it may be possible to buffer the effects of at least some susceptibility factors through use of family-based strategies that promote stabilizing behaviors (e.g., modeling of healthy, non-restrictive eating on the part of parents, regular family meals) and in doing so prevent the development of full-blown illness in high risk individuals, remains an important question for future study.…”

Human remains from peat bogs, called “bog bodies,” have yielded valuable insights into human history because of their excellent preservation of soft tissue. On the other hand, the acidic environment of the peat leads to an extensive demineralization of skeletal elements, complicating their analysis. We studied the skeleton of the bog body “Moora” dated to ∼650 B.C. Nondestructive evaluation of the bone was made using contact X‐rays, peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) analysis, multislice computed tomography (CT) and high resolution micro computed tomography (μCT) imaging. Two thousand seven hundred years in the acidic environment of the bog led to a loss of 92.7% of bone mineral density. Despite this demineralization and in contrast to other bog bodies, the spatial structure of the bones of “Moora” is exceptionally well preserved. We found Harris lines and were able to obtain the first three‐dimensional data on the trabecular microstructure of the bone of a young woman from the early Iron Age.

“…Unfortunately, the study of women with AN as mothers is sparse (Mazzeo, Zucker, Gerke, Mitchell, & Bulik, 2005), and the majority of available evidence often combines mothers with differing ED diagnoses (S. Agras, Hammer, & McNicholas, 1999;Cooper, Whelan, Woolgar, Morrell, & Murray, 2004;Evans & le Grange, 1995). However, reports to date have been suggestive of significant impairment, and the importance of the parenting domain warrants mention irrespective of this lack of breadth.…”

Death by suicide occurs in a disproportionate percentage of individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN), with a standardized mortality ratio indicating a 57-fold greater risk of death from suicide relative to an age-matched cohort. Longitudinal studies indicate impaired social functioning increases risk for fatal outcomes, while social impairment persists following recovery. Study of social cognition in AN may elucidate impaired processes that may influence therapeutic efficacy. Symptoms of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are overrepresented in those who evidence a chronic course. Relative to that in AN, social information processing in ASD is well characterized and may inform systematic study in AN. This article (a) reviews impaired interpersonal processes in AN, (b) compares the phenotype of AN with that of ASD, (c) highlights deficits of social cognitive disturbance in ASD relative to AN, and (d) proposes a new framework to understand the interaction of individuals with AN with their social context.Keywords: anorexia nervosa, social cognition, autism, interpersonal functioning, eating disorders Individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) have a nearly 12-fold greater risk of death from all causes and a 57-fold greater risk of death from suicide relative to their age-matched peers (Keel et al., 2003). Such troubling statistics speak to the incapacitating, perplexing, and isolating nature of AN, a severe psychiatric illness that negatively impacts the biological, emotional, and psychosocial functioning of both the affected individual and her or his family (Harris & Barraclough, 1998;Treasure, Whitaker, Whitney, & Schmidt, 2005). In fact, AN exacts a toll on the family reported to exceed that experienced by families with a child with a severe psychiatric disorder such as schizophrenia . Although guiding epidemiologic data are currently lacking, there has been increasing concern regarding several notable trends: (a) an upsurge of AN in both younger and older ages than has been previously reported Johnson, Cohen, Kasen, & Brook, 2006;Marcus & Kalarchian, 2003), (b) increased incidence in minority groups hitherto thought protected (Decaluwe, Braet, & Fairburn, 2003;Tanofsky-Kraff et al., 2003), and (c) recent published reports of extensive illness burden among family members Treasure, Whitaker, Whitney, & Schmidt, 2005;Whitney & Eisler, 2005). Such patterns highlight the broad impact of these illnesses and underscore the urgency of alternative approaches to illness management.While advances have been made in the treatment of adolescents with a relatively short duration of illness (Lock & le Grange, 2005), progress in the treatment of adults with AN remains limited, at best (W. S. Agras et al., 2004;Kaplan, 2002). Of note, a report issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (W. S. Agras et al., 2004) emphasized the absence of innovative treatment approaches over the past several decades. This conclusion was recently echoed in an evidence-based review calling for novel intervention strategies that target core biological...

“…Mothers usually decide what foods are offered, the amount that is provided, the timing and context of meals, and who is involved in feeding interactions (Rapoport & Bourdais, 2008). Most studies suggest that these feeding-related decisions are more complicated and distressing when the mother has a history of an eating disorder (Mazzeo, Zucker, Gerke, Mitchell, & Bulik, 2005). For example, in comparison to control mothers, mothers with a history of an eating disorder are more preoccupied with their child's weight and underfeed their children (Hodes, Timimi, & Robinson, 1997;Hoffman et al, 2012).…”
