Summary: This study conducted a network meta-analysis to investigate the differences in adiponectin levels across eating disorders, obesity, constitutional thinness, and healthy controls. The results showed that participants with anorexia nervosa had significantly higher adiponectin levels, while obesity and binge-eating disorder were associated with significantly lower levels. These findings suggest that adiponectin may be an important marker of metabolic imbalance.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of Conradts' Weight- and Body-Related Shame and Guilt Scale (WEB-SG) and its associations with maladaptive eating behaviors and general chronic shame in Hungarian and Norwegian university students. The results showed that the WEB-SG had an adequate measurement model in both samples, with body-related guilt positively associated with dieting and negatively related to oral control. A significant positive relationship between WEB-S and BMI was found in the Hungarian sample. These findings highlight the importance of WEB-G and WEB-S in the assessment and treatment of eating difficulties.

Summary: The sequencing of eating disorder symptom emergence for adolescent girls who subsequently developed various eating disorders was characterized in this study. Compensatory weight-control behaviors and weight/shape overvaluation were found to typically emerge before other prodromal symptoms in all eating disorders during adolescence. Different prodromal symptoms were also found to predict future onset of different eating disorders. Screening and prevention programs targeting these prodromal symptoms may be effective in preventing future onset of eating disorders.

Summary: From the literature review, it can be concluded that orthorexia nervosa is closely related to trait and disordered restrictive eating symptoms of anorexia nervosa, as well as weight control motivations for food choice. However, it is less consistently related to binge-spectrum eating disorder symptoms, emotional eating, uncontrolled eating, or body dissatisfaction/shape and weight concerns.

Summary: The study reviewed the literature on the relationship between orthorexia nervosa (ON) and eating disorder (ED) symptoms. The results indicated that ON is consistently related to trait and disordered restrictive eating symptoms of anorexia nervosa, as well as weight control motivations for food choice. However, ON was less consistently related to binge-spectrum eating disorder symptoms, emotional eating, uncontrolled eating, or body dissatisfaction/shape and weight concerns.

Summary: This study found high rates of comorbid psychiatric disorders in 9-10 year old children with eating disorders, particularly anxiety, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and mood disorders. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of eating disorders in this age group and the associated severe comorbidity, considering referrals for specialty mental health care.

Summary: Eating disorders, specifically anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN), have shown increasing trends in incidence and burden from 1990 to 2019 in China. The prevalence of AN peaked at 15-19 years old, while the prevalence and DALYs of BN peaked at 30-34 years old. Females had a higher burden of AN, while males had a higher burden of BN.

Summary: Eating disorders are highly severe mental disorders in both women and men, often leading to significant limitations in daily functioning, comorbidities, chronic illness, and even mortality rates. However, the differences between men and women with eating disorders have not been well explored.

Summary: This study found that overweight was associated with overeating, while underweight was associated with less frequent overeating and longer sleep duration. Individuals with anorexia nervosa consumed less alcohol, while those with bulimia nervosa had a larger discrepancy between ideal and current body shape. Both overweight status and bulimia nervosa were associated with more obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

Summary: Current research indicates an increased risk of eating disorders in runners, with a significant relationship observed between negative running addiction (NRA) and compulsive eating, anorexia nervosa (AN), and/or bulimia nervosa (BN). Many runners are at risk of eating disorders, particularly long-distance runners. Childhood experiences, such as obesity or a healthy weight, play a key role in increasing the risk of eating disorders.

Summary: Research on stigmatization in eating disorders has shown that individuals with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder face stereotypes, prejudices, and discrimination, which are influenced by demographic factors like age, gender, and income level. This stigma has negative effects on individuals' eating disorders, psychological wellbeing, and treatment-seeking behavior, highlighting the need for further research and prevention efforts.

Summary: Research shows promise for mobile health interventions to improve access to care for mothers and infants. However, data on the use of digital interventions with young mothers are limited. In Lima, Peru, adolescent mothers have access to smartphones but face obstacles related to financial instability.
