Death Rate Among Anorexia Nervosa Patients Exaggerated

http://www.equityfeminism.com/articles/2003/mayo-clinic-study-death-rate-among-anorexia-nervosa-patients-exaggerated/

A Mayo Clinic study that looked at mortality rates among patients with
anorexia nervosa over a period of 60 years concluded that people diagnosed with
the disorder die at the same rate as people who do not have the disorder. This
contradicts both previous clinical studies as well as many commonly cited claims
that the death rate for people with the disorder is extremely high.
