<jats:sec><jats:title>Objective:</jats:title><jats:p> Some patients develop an eating disorder at a late age. It is worth investigating why this syndrome develops at such widely different ages. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:</jats:title><jats:p> Two Japanese cases of late onset anorexia nervosa are reported. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:</jats:title><jats:p> In these late onset cases, anorexia developed out of sadness over a loss such as bereavement, divorce, and fear or anxiety for the future. In addition, these two patients didn't demonstrate a fear of aging or of losing their attractiveness and sexuality, nor did they develop a dissociative disturbance based on an early traumatic history of sexual abuse in PTSD. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:</jats:title><jats:p> Although the clinical features are similar, there appear to be differences between late onset and adolescent cases in psychological mechanisms. </jats:p></jats:sec>
