Body composition study for teens with anorexia

This research study examines how the brain regulates hormones and metabolism in people with long-standing anorexia nervosa. By comparing brain samples from people with the condition to healthy volunteers, researchers hope to understand the biological changes that occur and develop better treatments.

This study measures “biomarkers” (blood or other body signs) to learn what may be unique in people with restrictive anorexia nervosa. The goal is to help researchers find targets that could guide future, more personalized care.

This trial looks at certain fats in the blood (called sphingolipids) in women with anorexia nervosa. Finding patterns might help understand the illness better and could lead to new ways to help.

This study looks at how the brain works in teenagers with anorexia, using brain scans. The goal is to understand changes in the brain linked to eating disorders, which could help improve treatment.

This study uses a safe, non-invasive 3D body scanner to measure body shape and composition in people with eating disorders. It may help doctors better understand and monitor malnutrition during treatment.

This study looks at how sleep and certain blood markers relate to anorexia nervosa in adolescent girls. If you join, you'll have sleep monitoring and blood tests twice (at the start and one year later) to help understand the condition better.
