Introduction Several studies recently investigated how Anorexia
Nervosa patients (ANp) process multimodal information. Longo
(2015) hypothesized that ANp might be less reliant on visual per-
ception of bodies than healthy controls (HC). Case et al. showed
that processing of multimodal information might be disrupted in
ANp. Literature lacks of studies thatmeasure precisely and compare
directly the contributions of each sensory input.
Objective To investigate the integration of visual and haptic
inputs in ANp compared with HC and measure the weight of each
input.
Method We used a visuo-haptic integration task with a setup
adapted from Gori et al. (2008) to measure each sensory input’s
when judging the size of a cube according to Maximum Likelihood
Estimation theory which describes the optimal multimodal inte-
gration behaviour (Ernst and Banks, 2002). Fifteen ANp and 16 HCs
were recruited.
Results Regardless the group, we found considerable individual
variability about the integration processes; moreover, many partic-
ipants did not integrate optimally. Correlation analysis suggested
that ANp rely less on visual information then HC.
Conclusions Despite using a setup previously validated with chil-
dren, the observation that many HC did not integrate optimally is
not in line with the results of previous studies, making it difficult
the comparison with the AN group. The setupmight not be adapted
to adults and it needs to be improved. Our study shows for the first
time how it might be possible to measure and compare directly the
contribution of two different sensorymodalities. This could provide
precious information to deeply investigate the pathology.

The research has the intention to determinate the prevalence, risky
factors of overweight and obesity in a sample of six hundred peo-
ple between seven (7) and eighteen (18) years old, chosen by a
simple random sampling with exclusion criteria, pathologies that
affect the weight and size (diabetes paralysis; malformation or
physic limitations). The data was collected through national poll of
the nutritional situation and Colombia ENSIN, in the demographic
and anthropometric information register and poll identification of
food habits and physical activity questionnaire for children PAQ-C.
The comparative analysis was made through SPSS in two deter-
mined populations by the low and medium social status criteria
in the overweight and obesity variables, risky factors related with
physical activity food habits and gender. It can be concluded that
the population presents normal weight, prone to obesity. Based
on the medium socioeconomic status, the percent of male obese
teenagers is higher than the female one. Children independent of
the socioeconomic status, present a higher percentage of obesity
than teenagers. A high percent of population do not do physical
exercise. There is no evidence of the relation between socioeco-
nomic level and the presence of unhealthy food habits.

Introduction Family members of patients with Eating Disorders-
(EDs)–in dealing with the relatives’ disease–report negative feel-
ings such as self-blame and criticism, but little is known regarding
their coping strategies.
Objectives To describe coping strategies in a sample of relatives
of patients with EDs using the Family Coping Questionnaire–Eating
Disorder version (FCQ-ED).
Aims (1) To evaluate coping strategies in relatives of patients with
EDs; (2) to describe differences in coping strategies according to
type of kinship with the patient; (3) to identify correlations among
socio-demographic characteristics, patients’ clinical characteristic,
and type of coping strategies.
Methods Relatives’ coping strategies were evaluated using the
FCQ-ED, a self-administered questionnaire, consisting of 32 items,
grouped in 5 subscales: coercion; positive communication; collu-
sion; seeking for information; avoidance, plus one item on seeking
for spiritual help.
Results Seventy-two patients and 127 relatives were recruited.
The most frequently adopted coping strategies were seeking for
information, positive communication, seeking for spiritual help;
the former were positively correlated with the level of education
of both patients and relatives. Mothers avoided the patients less
frequently than other relatives.
Discussion This is one of the first studies focused on coping strate-
gies in families of patientswith EDs showing that problem-oriented
ones are used quite often. Socio-demographic characteristics and
type of kinship can have an impact on the adoption of coping strate-
gies, but further longitudinal studies are needed in order to identify
other possible factors implied in their development.
Conclusions This represents an initial attempt to understand how
clinical, social and personal variables can have an impact on the
development of coping strategies.
