Part of the EDF X Within Workshop Series
Learning Objectives:
- Name two body systems affected by medical complications of eating disorders.
- Describe the potential medical sequelae of eating disorders.
- Explain one medical complication of eating disorders that can worsen with GLP-1 RA use.
Abstract:
All eating disorders can be associated with serious medical complications affecting every organ system in the body. While the burgeoning availability of weight loss pharmaceuticals has caused great promise for the management of chronic conditions, those with eating disorders who take these medications are at an increased risk for compounded medical sequelae. In this presentation common medical complications of eating disorders and their pathophysiology will be presented. Additionally, the influence of hormone-based pharmacotherapeutics on common eating disorder medical complications will be discussed.
