Psychology | | French term or phrase: qui interrogent | "Nous discutons ces résultats qui interrogent, l'insatisfaction corporelle étant souvent décrite comme faisant partie intégrante du tableau clinique de l'anorexie mentale". (the results were opposite of what was expected)
Does this mean "surprising (or puzzling) results"?
Thanks, Karen |

8 mins confidence: that raise more questions
Explanation:
That is how I interpret it. The results make us think of more questions, pushing us on to search further for the cause of anorexia.
