Predictors of Anorexia Nervosa and Obsessive‐Compulsive Disorder Comorbidity and Order of Diagnosis in a Danish National Cohort
These exploratory findings suggest that distinct pathways may be involved in the order of onset for AN-OCD comorbidity. Specifically, for individuals with AN who subsequently developed OCD, high birth weight appeared to increase risk, whereas for individuals with OCD who later developed AN, familial anxiety disorders seemed to play a protective role. Findings could inform early screening and prevention efforts for individuals with AN at high risk for OCD, and vice versa.
