Abstract

ABSTRACT: Nutrition plays a vital role in the treatment of eating disorders. Careful consideration of the risks involved and strategies to successfully facilitate nutritional change is required. The first two papers of this series cover the importance of healthy nutrition, effects of inadequate nutrition, assessment and concepts of refeeding and rehydration in eating disorders. This paper discusses special considerations for nutrition change in eating disorders, including the mode of feeding, children and adolescents, chronic illness, pregnancy, nutrition education, prevention and promotion, and working as a team.
