Prevalence and determinants of eating disorder risk behaviours among adult women in Denmark: findings from nationwide cross-sectional health surveys between 2000 and 2023
Between 2000 and 2023, a two-fold increase in the overall prevalence of eating disorder risk behaviours was demonstrated among adult women in Denmark, which urgently calls for targeted prevention initiatives based on identified determinants. If left untreated, such risk behaviours may develop into clinical eating disorders with negative implications for society and individuals. Future studies are furthermore encouraged to examine eating disorder risk behaviour trends and determinants among men.
