An observational study in Eating Disorder, sponsored by University Hospital, Montpellier. Completed at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 15 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-03-11.
Sponsored by University Hospital, Montpellier · Observational
Eating disorders are multifactorial disorders currently conceptualized in a biopsychosocial model, but pathophysiology remains relatively unknown, and robust etiological models to guide treatment are therefore lacking. Different endophenotypes and neurocognitive vulnerability factors have been found in eating disorders including decision making abnormalities. The investigators hypothesize that decision making abnormalities are associated with a lower level of functioning and quality of life which could lead to social and interpersonal difficulties. The investigators also hypothesize that these anomalies are associated with a particular clinical profile (more restrictive profile, more hyperactivity, less insight on the disease and desire for care ...).
The investigators will recruit a total of 200 patients with an eating disorder in the university hospital of Montpellier.
Participation consists of a one-day visit with a multidisciplinary assessment. No action is specific to research. This is the usual management of patients with eating disorders addressed to our department.
740 studies on the registry are indexed under Feeding and Eating Disorders; 159 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 200 is above the median of 100 across 183 observational studies indexed under Feeding and Eating Disorders.

Patients with eating disorder
Exclusion criteria:
Level of functional impairment assessed by the clinician with the FAST scale
We aim to investigate the link between global functioning and decision making abnormalities of patients with eating disorder. The Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) is composed of 24 items assessing various dimensions of daily functionning. Each item is ranged from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (major difficulty) like a likert scale. The FAST is subdivided in 6 subscales : Autonomy (from 0 to 12), Professional activity (from 0 to 15), Cognitive functioning (from 0 to 15), Finances (from 0 to 6), interpersonal relationships (from 0 to 18) and Hobbies (from 0 to 6). The total score is the sum of the 6 subscales from 0 to 72. A hight score reveal hight difficulties in daily functionning
