Temporal Trends in the Epidemiology of Eating Disorders Between 2000 and 2022: A Danish Register Study of Their Incidence and Comorbidities

European Eating Disorders Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Eating disorders are debilitating illnesses that often co‐occur with other psychiatric disorders and somatic diseases. Evidence indicates that the incidence of eating disorders has been increasing. We first examine the landscape of EDs over time, including the COVID‐19 period, via assessing the incidence of anorexia nervosa (AN ...
