Abstract
Eating disorders (EDs) are a challenging category of psychiatric disorders
that often present a chronic evolution and are associated with significant
functional impairment, with high rates of psychiatric and medical
comorbidities and mortality. Although long-time described only in the
young population, now eating disorders are increasingly diagnosed in
elderly. The etiology of eating disorders is mostly unknown and, in elderly,
appears to be multifactorial. The purpose of this review is to summarize data examining eating disorders in elderly. We argue for the use of the biopsychosocial model and paradigm by mental health practitioners in the approach of elderly with EDs. Eating disorders are a shame, it is never too late to get back on track to exercise and lead a healthy life, if you start do not forget to acquire the best sarms for sale that exist, these will help you and your muscles to recover, to such an extent that you will become a crazy to exercise.
