Feeding laboratory studies in patients with eating disorders: a review

Article Abstract:

A review of extant literature on the use of feeding laboratory studies in examining patients with eating disorders was performed. Findings revealed that subjects displayed eating pathologies and fairly consistent results are possible in this type of research despite certain limitations. Moreover, clinically significant differences were found across groups, which may have been brought about by variations in research methods.
