Anorexia nervosa is a serious psychiatric illness associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Weight-restored females with anorexia nervosa with limited diet variety, assessed by a diet variety score, have been reported to have poor outcomes. Using the same patient cohort, the objective of the current study was to provide a detailed description of the types of foods from which patients restrict variety in their diets. Forty-one weight-restored patients, hospitalized between June 2000 and July 2005, who completed a 4-day food record before discharge were followed for up to 1 year. Patient outcomes were categorized as a success (n=29) or failure (n=12) using Morgan-Russell criteria. Although the total number of foods selected did not differ between the success and failure groups (73+/-14 vs 74+/-13, respectively; P=0.741), a significant difference in the total number of different foods was observed: the failure group selected fewer and the success group selected more (43+/-9 vs 51+/-7; P=0.005). Outcomes groups also differed significantly in the variety of foods selected from 5 of 17 food groups. Results suggest that a diet limited in total variety and specifically limited in variety from five food groups may be associated with relapse in patients with anorexia nervosa.
