Our 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.
