Prevalence of Disordered Eating and Associations With Sex, Pubertal Maturation, and Weight in Children in the US, in JAMA Pediatrics
key takeaway: "Sex differences in DEBs were minimal in children aged 9 to 10 years, consistent with full-threshold eating disorder diagnoses at these ages.6 Children with higher BMIs were at elevated risk for DEBs. Although advanced pubertal maturation was associated with greater report of compensatory behaviors to prevent weight gain, the association of pubertal maturation with binge eating differed by weight status."
