RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a disorder associated with many medical complications. Regarding phosphorus metabolism, the only recognized alteration is hypophosphatemia associated with refeeding syndrome. However, in our clinical practice, we have observed a high frequency of hyperphosphatemia in late phases of nutrition therapy in severely undernourished AN patients, which has barely been described. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We carried out a retrospective study of patients with AN hospitalized for severe decompensation of the disease. RESULTS: Eleven patients were included, all women, with a median age of 23 years [20-46] and a body mass index at admission of 12.2â¯kg/m2 [11.7-13.1]. Hyperphosphatemia was noted in 9 of the 11 cases (81.8%) with a median time to onset of 53 days [30-75]. The median peak serum phosphorus (P) level was 5.1â¯mg/dl [4.9-5.4]. An inverse relationship was found between the increase in P levels and phosphorus supplementation at the onset of admission. The magnitude of the P increase was associated with the body weight gain achieved during nutrition therapy. CONCLUSION: Late hyperphosphatemia during nutrition therapy in severely undernourished AN patients affects more than 80% of cases. Body weight gain throughout nutrition therapy is a predictor of increased P levels.

Introduction: Obesity is a public health problem due to its high prevalence, high morbidity, and high mortality. The relationship between eating disorders (ED) and obesity is widely established. A healthcare professional that cares for people with obesity must take into account a series of best practices to minimize the risk of developing an ED in the course of treatment for weight loss. Bariatric surgery (BS) is an effective, long-term treatment in selected patients with severe obesity. During the preoperative period, it is essential to detect any ED due to its high prevalence in this group. After surgery, the presence of a post-op ED and its possible relationship in terms of poorer outcomes make screening during follow-up after surgery essential. From a preventive perspective, cognitive-behavioral therapy before BS could positively influence postoperative results, and its use after BS could improve weight loss efficacy and reduce binge eating and grazing. From a more holistic preventive perspective, many believe in an integrative approach to both obesity and ED. In order to be successful, it is essential to identify any relevant risk and protective factors for both disorders.
Introducción: La obesidad constituye un problema de salud pública por su alta prevalencia y elevada morbimortalidad. La relación entre los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA) y la obesidad está ampliamente establecida. Es importante que el profesional que atiende a personas con obesidad tenga en cuenta una serie de premisas que minimicen el riesgo de aparición de un trastorno alimentario en el transcurso del tratamiento para perder peso. La cirugía bariátrica (CB) constituye un tratamiento efectivo a largo plazo en los pacientes adecuadamente seleccionados con obesidad grave. Por un lado, la elevada prevalencia de los TCA en este colectivo hace imprescindible la detección de estos trastornos en el preoperatorio. Por otro lado, la presencia de los TCA después de la cirugía y su posible relación en cuanto a peores resultados hace fundamental el cribado durante el seguimiento tras la intervención. Desde el punto de vista preventivo, la realización de una terapia cognitivo-conductual antes de la CB podría influir positivamente en los resultados posoperatorios y su empleo después podría mejorar la eficacia en cuanto a pérdida de peso y disminuir los atracones y el "grazing". Desde una perspectiva más global en relación a la prevención, son muchos quienes apuestan por un enfoque integrador para la obesidad y los TCA. Para ello es fundamental identificar los factores de riesgo y los protectores que tengan relevancia en ambos trastornos.

INTRODUCTION: Nutrition education (NE), as part of the treatment of eating disorders (EDs), plays a crucial role in helping patients to change their food attitudes and routines, lose fears, and recover a healthy eating pattern. All these changes may contribute to improving their nutritional status. However, there is a lack of consensus and standardization concerning the procedures to teach it. This work's objective was to elaborate a consensual protocol for NE implementation in the treatment of EDs to help in decision-making regarding which patients are appropriate candidates to receive NE, the agents (family, school community) and professionals involved, and the areas in the healthcare system that are best suited for implementation. Moreover, it would help in selecting the the topics to be imparted, and in following up treatment progression.
INTRODUCCIÓN: La educación nutricional (EN), dentro del tratamiento de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA), juega un papel fundamental ya que contribuye a que el paciente modifique sus actitudes y rutinas en relación con la comida, pierda miedos y restablezca un patrón de alimentación saludable, favoreciendo de este modo su recuperación nutricional. Sin embargo, existe falta de consenso y estandarización acerca de los procedimientos para llevarla a cabo. El objetivo de este trabajo es elaborar un protocolo consensuado de EN en el contexto del tratamiento de los TCA que permita ayudar a la toma de decisiones sobre: los pacientes candidatos a recibirla, los agentes (familia, comunidad escolar) y profesionales implicados, los ámbitos de implementación de la intervención, la información sobre los pacientes que es necesario conocer, los temas, objetivos y contenidos a trabajar, y la necesidad de evaluación de la progresión del paciente y los programas desarrollados.

Eating disorders (ED) are characterized by persistent changes in eating habits that negatively affect a person's health and psychosocial abilities. They are considered psychiatric disorders, highly variable in their presentation and severity, with a huge impact on nutrition, which conditions various therapeutic approaches within a key multidisciplinary context. A group of experts in nutrition, we decided to set up a task force adscribed to the "Sociedad Española de Nutrición Parenteral y Enteral" (SENPE), which has stated as one of its goals the development of a consensus document to generate a protocol based on the best scientific evidence and professional experience available in order to improve health care in this field.

Anorexia nervosa is the most common psychiatric disease among young women and it is assumed to be of multifactorial origin. Diagnostic criteria have recently been modified; therefore amenorrhea has ceased to be a part of them. This disease shows a large variability in its presentation and severity which conditions different therapeutic approaches and the need to individualize the treatment, thus it is indispensable a multidisciplinary approach. The goals are to restore nutritional status (through an individualized diet plan based on a healthy consumption pattern), treat complications and comorbidities, nutritional education (based on healthy eating and nutritional patterns), correction of compensatory behaviors and relapse prevention. The treatment will vary according to the patient's clinical situation, and it may be performed in outpatient clinics (when there is clinical stability), in a day hospital or ambulatory clinic (intermediate mode between traditional outpatient treatment and hospitalization) or hospitalization (when there is outpatient management failure or presence of serious medical or psychiatric complications). Artificial nutrition using oral nutritional supplements, enteral nutrition and exceptionally parenteral nutrition may be necessary in certain clinical settings. In severely malnourished patients the refeeding syndrome should be avoided. Anorexia nervosa is associated with numerous medical complications which determines health status, life quality, and is closely related to mortality. There is little clinical evidence to assess the results of different treatments in anorexia nervosa, when most of the recommendations are being based on expert consensus.

Bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder are unique nosological entities. Both show a large variability related to its presentation and severity which involves different therapeutic approaches and the need to individualize the treatment, thus it is indispensable a multidisciplinary approach. Patients with bulimia nervosa may suffer from malnutrition and deficiency states or even excess weight, while in binge eating disorders, it is common overweight or obesity, which determine other comorbidities. Many of the symptoms and complications are associated with compensatory behaviors. There are many therapeutic tools available for the treatment of these patients. The nutritional approach contemplates the individualized dietary advice which guarantees an adequate nutritional state and nutritional education. Its objective is to facilitate the voluntary adoption of eating behaviors that promote health and allow the long-term modification of eating habits and the cessation of purgatory and bingeing behaviors. Psychological support is a first-line treatment and it must address the frequent disorder of eating behavior and psychiatric comorbidities. Psychotropic drugs are effective and widely used although these drugs are not essential. The management is carried out mainly at an outpatient level, being the day hospital useful in selected patients. Hospitalization should be reserved to correct serious somatic or psychiatric complications or as a measure to contain non-treatable conflict situations. Most of the guidelines' recommendations are based on expert consensus, with little evidence which evaluates clinical results and cost-effectiveness.

La anorexia nerviosa es la enfermedad psiquiátrica más frecuente entre las mujeres jóvenes y se asume de origen multifactorial. Los criterios diagnósticos han sido recientemente modificados de forma que la amenorrea deja de formar parte de ellos. Esta enfermedad muestra una gran variabilidad en su presentación y gravedad, lo que condiciona diferentes abordajes terapéuticos y la necesidad de individualizar el tratamiento, haciéndose indispensable un enfoque multidisciplinar. Los objetivos persiguen restaurar el estado nutricional (a través de un plan dietético individualizado y basado en un patrón de consumo saludable), tratar las complicaciones y comorbilidades, la educación nutricional (basada en patrones alimentarios y nutricionales sanos), corrección de las conductas compensatorias y la prevención de recaídas. El tratamiento variará según la situación clínica del paciente, pudiendo realizarse en consultas externas (cuando existe estabilidad clínica), en hospital de día (modalidad intermedia entre el tratamiento ambulatorio tradicional y la hospitalización) o en hospitalización (fracaso del manejo ambulatorio o presencia de complicaciones médicas o psiquiátricas graves). La nutrición artificial a través del empleo de suplementos nutricionales orales, nutrición enteral y excepcionalmente nutrición parenteral puede ser necesaria en determinados escenarios clínicos. En pacientes severamente desnutridos se debe evitar el síndrome de realimentación. La anorexia nerviosa está asociada a numerosas complicaciones médicas que condicionan el estado de salud, la calidad de vida y que se relacionan estrechamente con la mortalidad. Existe poca evidencia clínica para evaluar los resultados de los distintos tratamientos en la anorexia nerviosa, estando basados la mayoría de las recomendaciones en consenso de expertos

La bulimia nerviosa y el trastorno por atracón constituyen entidades nosológicas propias. Ambas muestran una gran variabilidad en su presentación y gravedad, lo que implica la individualización del tratamiento y la necesidad de equipos multidisciplinares. Los pacientes con bulimia nerviosa pueden presentar desde desnutrición y estados carenciales a exceso de peso, mientras que en los trastornos por atracón es habitual el sobrepeso u obesidad, que condiciona a su vez otras comorbilidades. Muchos de los síntomas y complicaciones derivan de las conductas compensatorias. Se dispone de diversas herramientas terapéuticas para el tratamiento de estos pacientes. El abordaje nutricional contempla el consejo dietético individualizado que garantice un adecuado estado nutricional y la correcta educación nutricional. Su objetivo es facilitar la adopción voluntaria de comportamientos alimentarios que fomenten la salud y que permitan la modificación a largo plazo de los hábitos alimentarios y el cese de conductas purgantes y atracones. El soporte psicológico es el tratamiento de primera línea y debe abordar el trastorno de la conducta alimentaria y las comorbilidades psiquiátricas que frecuentemente presentan. Los psicofármacos, aunque eficaces y ampliamente utilizados, no son imprescindibles. El manejo se realiza principalmente a nivel ambulatorio, siendo el hospital de día útil en pacientes seleccionados. Se debe reservar la hospitalización para corregir aquellas complicaciones somáticas o psiquiátricas graves o como medida de contención de las situaciones conflictivas no tratables de forma ambulatoria. La mayoría de las recomendaciones de las guías se basan en consensos de expertos, existiendo poca evidencia que evalúe los resultados clínicos y de coste-eficacia
