Participants will therefore meet the following inclusion criteria: be aged at least 18 years, and fulfil research criteria for AN phenotype, which are: (i) meeting criteria A and B of DSM-IV for AN (i.e. refusal to maintain a normal body weight and intense fear of weight gain); and (ii) BMI less than 20 kg/m2.
