Trends in the Observed Versus Expected Incidence of Eating Disorders Before, During, and After the <scp>COVID</scp>−19 Pandemic: A National Patient Registry Study
New-onset ED cases peaked in 2021, then declined in 2022 and 2023, despite remaining higher than expected based on 10 years of pre-pandemic data. Future research should continue to monitor trends in incidence, and community-based studies are necessary for replication.
