The idea
Anorexia nervosa carries the highest mortality of any eating disorder, and it responds to treatment, with the best outcomes following early specialist care.
In practice
Meta-analysis places the standardized mortality ratio near five times the expected rate.
Where people slip
About one in five of those deaths is by suicide. This is a treatable condition and delay is the main risk.
