Key Points

  • This research aims to identify candidate biological markers for anorexia nervosa to improve clinical intervention.
  • Consensus formation by the World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry.
  • Review of existing literature on biological markers for anorexia nervosa.
  • Assessment of group comparisons for current biomarkers.
  • Current biomarkers are primarily based on group comparisons.
  • Lack of studies evaluating the sensitivity and specificity of these biomarkers.
  • Insufficient evidence on the prognostic value of the biomarkers.

Abstract

Biological markers will hopefully soon enable clinicians to intervene earlier in a more targeted manner to mitigate treatment resistance. However, the current scientific basis for most biological markers are group comparisons only. Studies on sensitivity, specificity and the prognostic value of these markers are lacking.
