Abstract
Long-term follow-up investigations contribute to our knowledge and und erstanding of illnesses, their prognosis and the effectiveness of trea tments.

Using the example of long-term follow-up investigations o f anorexia nervosa some of the most important issues are discussed in a more general framework.
