Evaluation of the DSM ‐5 Severity Indicator for Anorexia Nervosa

ConclusionsOur findings, in this clinical sample of patients with AN in Portugal, provide no evidence for the new DSM‐5 severity ratings based on BMI level. Further research on the validity of the DSM‐5 specifiers is needed and should test additional clinical or functional variables and especially prognostic utility for course and outcome across eating disorders.
