Somatic symptom severity is high in both eating disorders. As it is associated with increased sick leave during the last 2 weeks and decreased quality of life, it adds to the psychological burden of AN and BN. Future research should investigate predictors of subjective somatic symptom severity and whether direct somatic symptom management enhances treatment of AN and BN.
