Abstract
In this paper anorexia syndrome in humans is described. Functional similarity between an animal model of activity anorexia and human pathology are analyzed. Moreover, a biobehavioral theory of activity anorexia by Epling and Pierce (1992) is described to show development of this pathology in humans. The most relevant theories which have tried to explain the origin of activity anorexia are presented, too. At last, experimental analysis of behavior contribution to the evaluation and treatment for activity anorexia in humans are outlined.
