Atypical anorexia nervosa as described in the DSM-5 identifies individuals with many of the psychological characteristics of typical anorexia nervosa who, despite significant weight loss, are not underweight. The current systematic review found that the psychological symptoms and physiological characteristics of individuals with atypical AN are generally similar to those of individuals with AN, although there may be differences in the frequency of some physical complications.
