O estudo da qualidade de vida impõe-se numa lógica de psicologia positiva. O
objectivo foi comparar a qualidade de vida de pacientes com anorexia nervosa com a
qualidade de vida normativa da população portuguesa. Utilizou-se o SF-36 aplicando-o
a trinta pacientes do sexo feminino seguidos em consulta de comportamento alimentar
com diagnóstico médico de anorexia nervosa. Verificou-se uma qualidade de vida
significativamente diminuída nestas pacientes, sobretudo na dimensão Saúde Mental.
