چکیده
|
Eating disorders are not commonly diagnosed in individuals aged >50 years,yet they are associated with significant psychiatric comorbidities and overall morbidity. anorexia nervosa is the most common eating disorder among this age group,and women are affected most often. we present the fatal case of a 66-year old woman with severe malnutrition and newly diagnosed anorexia nervosa. inpatient refeeding was unsuccessful,and she succumbed to multisystem organ failure. the timely recognition of eating disorders among older people is important for family physicians who care for patients across the life spectrum.
