Research topic

Eating disorders are the classical forms of civilization disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, obesity, binge eating disorder, muscle dysmorphia, orthorexia, and some newer syndromes). The Research Group investigates different aspects of eating disorders from the epidemiology to the prevention, clinical observations, and new treatment possibilities (including telemedicine). The group participates in international collaborations as well.
