“Prevalence of disordered eating and eating disorders among Norwegian university students before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, 2018 and 2022: The SHoT study.”
The findings suggest a relative rise in ED prevalence among students after the COVID-19 pandemic, while DE symptoms and -cases only changed minimally. These findings highlight the need for enhanced awareness and student mental health services, particularly for gender-diverse individuals, and to improve early detection and intervention strategies among those facing financial hardship and loneliness.
