Body weight changes in early onset Narcolepsy: implying compensatory mechanisms

We thank Dr Kovalská et al. for their special interest in our paper, and we thank the editors for giving us the opportunity to interpret our work. The findings of Dr Kovalská contribute to the understanding of the long-term status and outcome of patients with narcolepsy with cataplexy [1]. Their observations on characteristics of BMI were consistent with our findings in body mass index (BMI) [2]. However, they may have misunderstood our findings on BMI and BMI growth [3]. Our data showed significant interaction in time and BMI growth, but not in time and BMI, between patients and controls.
