About

The Department of Health Promotion at Aalborg University Hospital gets patients referred from all the hospital's departments. The Department of Health Promotion offers lifestyle courses to aid preventing disease relapses and further comorbidities to patients referred to other ambulatory treatments at the hospital. For most patients this also includes weight loss, but the primary goal is lifestyle change regarding eating and exercise habits to improve overall health state. Since it is known that eating disorders commonly occurs in individuals seeking help for weight loss, and that the prevalence is larger than in the background population, we also suspect that eating disorders would commonly occur among patients referred to the Department of Health Promotion. Therefore, we aim to investigate the prevalence of eating disorders among patients referred to lifestyle courses at the Department of Health Promotion.
