About this trial

This descriptive study aims primarily to characterize the sensory profile of patients with eating disorders (divided into three diagnostic groups: anorexia nervosa, boulimia nervosa and hyperphagia), controlling for possible autistic traits in this population.

The study involves measuring characteristics associated with eating disorders (diagnosis, BMI, anxiety), assessing the sensory profile (AASP), and coping strategies in patients with eating disorders who are hospitalised or followed up in consultation.
