Abstract summary 

Although eating disorders are a public health issue, treating anorexia nervosa from a demographic and socio-economic perspective remains a challenge. Data are scarce, patchy and often of questionable quality. Such a lack of data on a somatopsychic illness with serious repercussions is a real problem, since reliable, longitudinal and detailed information could provide additional answers in understanding the illness, both in terms of age, sex and gender structure, and in terms of family, social and environmental factors.
