Abstract in brief

  • The incidence of anorexia nervosa has remained stable overall, but has noticeably increased among individuals under 15 years old, necessitating further research and prevention efforts.
  • A decline in the incidence of bulimia nervosa has been observed over time, with lifetime prevalence rates reaching about 4% for females and 0.3% for males with anorexia, and 3% for females and over 1% for males with bulimia.
  • Both disorders are prevalent globally across different ages and genders, and they significantly elevate the risk of mortality, with estimates showing a fivefold increase.
