Position paper of the society for adolescent health and medicine: Medical management of restrictive eating disorders in adolescents and young adults references

Abstract

Eating disorders continue to be significant health problems for AYA. Recent research on EDs in AYA has yielded important new knowledge with respect to diagnosis, weight restoration, resumption of menses, determination of treatment goal weight, FBT, and refeeding patients with AN. As the medical provider plays a critical role in managing AYA with restrictive EDs, being informed about these advances will promote delivery of state-of-the art evidence-based treatments to these young people.
