BACKGROUND: Anorexia nervosa is associated with high personal and financial costs for sufferers, carers and society in general, but little is known about the long-term health economic burden.
AIMS: To examine healthcare utilisation, social assistance, sick leave and disability pension in individuals with anorexia nervosa over a period of 30 years.
METHOD: Fifty-one individuals with adolescent-onset anorexia nervosa and 51 matched comparison cases (COMP) were recruited in the community and followed prospectively from 1985. All individuals were examined on five occasions. At the 30-year follow-up, mean age 44, data on in- and out-patient care, prescribed medications, social assistance, sick leave and disability pension were collected from Swedish national registers.
RESULTS: The anorexia nervosa group had more days of in-patient care (p < 0.001) and out-patient visits to psychiatry (p < 0.001), more days of sick leave (p = 0.006), more days of disability pension (p = 0.002) and were prescribed more psychotropic medication (p = 0.045) compared with the COMP group. Of the anorexia nervosa group, 22% had ever received a disability pension compared with 2% in the COMP group (p = 0.004) and less than half the anorexia nervosa group worked full-time at the 30-year follow-up. In the anorexia nervosa group, 45% had received social assistance at some point, compared with 22% in the COMP group (p = 0.02). Age at onset of anorexia nervosa emerged as a predictor of healthcare utilisation with significant odds ratios for psychiatric in-patient (odds ratio 0.61, 95% CI: 0.39, 0.94; p = 0.027) and out-patient care (odds ratio 0.63, 95% CI: 0.40, 0.98; p = 0.042), i.e. individuals with a later onset of anorexia nervosa were less likely to require psychiatric care.
CONCLUSIONS: The long-term burden of adolescent-onset anorexia nervosa comprises increased utilisation of healthcare and dependence on society for a significant minority. A later onset of anorexia nervosa predicted a lower healthcare utilisation.
