Numerous studies in the literature have highlighted a decrease in quality of life and in particular in the quality of life associated with health in patients suffering from eating disorders or obesity. Indeed, the greater the symptoms of ED, the lower the quality of life. This decrease in quality of life can vary according to the different forms of ED, in particular because it can be associated with the presence of various comorbidities.
- The study of the quality of life during the screening and management of eating disorders and obesity will thus make it possible to assess the impact of the pathology. Thus, the management of comorbidities associated with eating disorders and obesity could have a positive impact on quality of life. A study has shown that depression, drug addiction and osteoporosis are the factors that have the greatest impact on quality of life.
