Zickgraf et al. (2022) studied the association between eating disorders and food insecurity. In it they showed that college students with previous or current food insecurity were more likely to meet criteria for an eating disorder. Read more here doi.org/10.1002/eat.23….
Engel et al. examined whether the overestimation of tactile distances in anorexia nervosa and recovered individuals is influenced by non-perceptual factors and the role of allowed response time in tactile size estimation. Read more here: doi.org/10.1002/brb3.2…
Due to the overlap of intrusive thoughts as a form of symptomology in both eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorders, Kinkel-Ram et al. (2021) analyzed illness pathways of intrusive thoughts. Read more regarding this at doi.org/10.1080/106402….
Systematic review by Baudine et al. shows multi-family therapy (MFT) is effective in treating anorexia nervosa as it leads to improved symptoms and weight gain and is associated with improvement in other individual and family factors. Read more here: doi.org/10.1002/eat.23…
Godoy-Izquierdo et al. (2021) reviews the phenomena of exercise addiction and its relation to disordered eating within the context of competitive sports. Read more here doi.org/10.1007/s11469…
