Summary

In order to explore the cognitive treatment of patients with early onset anorexia nervosa (AM) in front of images of silhouettes and food, we will use the eye-tracking method. While we hypothesize a judgment disorder in these patients, the exploration of implicit cognitive treatment without desirability bias is essential. Eye-tracking is a method of recording the eye path that provides qualitative and quantitative information on the visual exploration of subjects. The visual pathway depends on how the subject's attention is directed to a given stimulus, but also on certain cognitive traits (e.g., excessive attention to details) or symptoms (e.g., avoidance of caloric food images or attraction to thin images). It is therefore a non-invasive exploration tool, which provides information on how patients look at food images and silhouettes. This project will describe the cognitive treatment of dietary stimuli and body image in young patients with early onset AM. It could identify a biomarker of AM in the pediatric population and improve the diagnosis of the disease. A better diagnosis of AM in patients under 15 years of age is essential and will improve medical care and develop personalized medicine.

STUDY OF THE COGNITIVE TREATMENT OF DIETARY STIMULI AND BODY IMAGE

Describe the cognitive treatment of patients with early onset anorexia nervosa in response to specific stimuli of the disorder (eating and body images), compared to age- and sex-matched control subjects: * children controls not achieved with normal BMI; * children with unbalanced insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes, therefore subject to a strict diet that requires good nutritional knowledge and no weight judgment disorders.
