Notes. All data of this table refers to day 1 of the study. recAN = Individuals recovered from anorexia nervosa, HC = healthy control participants. Group differences were tested using Student's t tests. IQ = intelligence quotient, BMI = body mass index, BMI-SDS = body mass index standard deviation score, EDI-2 = Eating Disorder Inventory 2, BDI-II = Beck Depression Inventory-II. For time since recovery, values ranged from 12 to 140 months. Eighteen recAN individuals were of the restrictive subtype and four of the binge/purge subtype. For duration of illness, the values for n = 4 recAN participants were not obtainable; values ranged from 0.5 to 9.8 years.
