AB - SummaryThis research is about a large group of healthy girls and boys and whether there is a difference in certain brain structures in children with lower or higher body weight or in children who eat less than desired (restrained eating).We found that, in girls, both body weight and restrained eating are associated with specific larger and/or smaller brain structures, while in boys, only body weight is linked to the size of specific brain structures.IntroductionAnorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe restrictive eating disorder that often begins in adolescence or young adulthood, with a predominant female prevalence. AN is characterized by a severe distortion in body image coupled with an intense fear of gaining weight, or persistent behavior that interferes with weight gain, even at a significant low weight, even though this fear is no longer required by the DSM‐5 (American Psychiatric Association 2013). These distortions can drive life‐threatening weight loss, resulting in high morbidity and mortality rates (Papadopoulos et al. 2009). The etiology is multifactorial, including psychological, social, and neurobiological factors (Zipfel et al. 2015). Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques are used to unravel the biological underpinnings of AN, which are not yet fully elucidated. A better understanding of the underlying disease mechanisms may
