Figure 2. The Relationship Between Length of Illness and Insular Volume in Adolescents with Anorexia Nervosa.

This figure depicts the relationship between length of illness in months and volume in anterior and posterior insular components in 21 adolescents with a current or prior diagnosis of anorexia nervosa. Reported volumes are the proportion of two volumes ml (insula)/ml (ICV). The magnitude of association was of large effect but in opposite direction: being negatively associated with right anterior insular volume (r= −.5, p = .03) and positively associated with right posterior volume (r = .5, p = .04). Red triangle = current diagnosis of anorexia nervosa; yellow square = history of anorexia nervosa, but weight restored.
