Anorexia Nervosa in recovery with normal body weight (Q40742)

Among individuals who are recovering from Anorexia Nervosa and whose body weight is more than 18.5 kg/m2 for adults or over the fifth percentile for BMI-for-age for children and adolescents, the diagnosis should be retained until a full and lasting recovery is achieved, as indicated by the maintenance of a healthy weight and the cessation of behaviours aimed at reducing body weight independent of the provision of treatment (e.g., for at least 1 year after intensive treatment is withdrawn).
