- WFSBP consensus paper evaluates biological markers for anorexia nervosa (AN).
- Candidate markers include clinical, molecular, cellular, neuroimaging, digital, cardiac, and neurophysiological parameters.
- Some markers are used as risk indicators in clinical practice.
- Biological markers help understand AN's pathophysiology and health impacts.
- Limited research on pharmacogenetics and therapeutic drug monitoring for AN treatment.
- Future potential for early, targeted interventions using biomarkers.
- Current studies mainly focus on group comparisons; lacks sensitivity, specificity, and prognostic value data.
