Overview

This descriptive study aims primarily to characterize the sensory profile of patients with eating disorders (divided into three diagnostic groups: anorexia nervosa, boulimia nervosa and hyperphagia), controlling for possible autistic traits in this population. The study involves measuring characteristics associated with eating disorders (diagnosis, BMI, anxiety), assessing the sensory profile (AASP), and coping strategies in patients with eating disorders who are hospitalised or followed up in consultation.

Interventions

  • Other Scales
    Five questionnaires were administered at inclusion, socio-demographic and clinical data were collected during an interview (anxiety-depression, treatments). The following questionnaires were used: The Revised Ritvo Autism and Asperger Diagnostic Scale (RAADS-R-Fr), the Eating Disorder Examination Self-Report Questionnaire (EDE-Q), the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP), the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS), the Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HAD) and the Multidimens

Primary outcome measures

  • Sensory profile from the Adolescent and Adult Sensory Profile (Brown and Dunn, 2002) according to each diagnostic group. [Time frame: At enrollment]
  • Scores for task coping drawn from the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (Endler & Parker, adapted by JP Rolland) according to each diagnostic group [Time frame: at enrollment]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
  • Description of the frequency of autistic traits for each diagnostic group [Time frame: At enrollment]
  • Description of the frequency of eating disorders for each diagnostic group. [Time frame: At enrollment]
  • Anxiety according to each diagnostic group. [Time frame: At enrollment]
  • Body awareness from the multidimensional assessment of interoceptive awareness for each diagnostic group. [Time frame: At enrollment]
