Overview

The primary objective of the study is to compare the results of the postural and mobility analysis obtained with the use of the Idiag M360 instrument in adult women with anorexia nervosa and in a control group represented by age-matched normal-weight women. Secondary objectives will be to correlate the results obtained from previous postural analyses with anthropometric parameters, the duration and onset of the disease, and the presence/date of onset of secondary amenorrhea.
