Individuals with ANR and ANBP similarly manifest reduced choices of high-fat foods, with similar tendencies to undervalue the tastiness of high-fat foods. These results suggest that while individuals with ANR and ANBP differ across a range of clinical characteristics, the decision-making process associated with the maladaptive restriction of high-fat foods characteristic of AN is shared by both subtypes.
