TL;DR: Eating disorders, although relatively uncommon, represent a public health concern because they are frequently associated with other psychopathology and role impairment, and are frequently under-treated.

TL;DR: Although the two measures performed similarly with respect to the assessment of unambiguous behavioral features such as self-induced vomiting and dieting, the self-report questionnaire generated higher scores than the interview when assessing more complex featuressuch as binge eating and concerns about shape.
Abstract: A detailed comparison was made of two methods for assessing the features of eating disorders. An investigator-based interview was compared with a self-report questionnaire based directly on that interview. A number of important discrepancies emerged. Although the two measures performed similarly with respect to the assessment of unambiguous behavioral features such as self-induced vomiting and dieting, the self-report questionnaire generated higher scores than the interview when assessing more complex features such as binge eating and concerns about shape. Both methods underestimated body weight.

TL;DR: The results showed that the Binge Eating Scale successfully discriminated among persons judged by trained interviewers to have either no, moderate or severe binge eating problems, such that severe bingers tended to set up diets which were unrealistically strict while reporting low efficacy expectations to sustain a diet.

TL;DR: Only a minority of people who meet stringent diagnostic criteria for eating disorders are seen in mental health care, and the incidence of anorexia nervosa increased over the past century, until the 1970s.
Abstract: Objective
To review the literature on the incidence and prevalence of eating disorders
Methods
We searched Medline using several key terms relating to epidemiology and eating disorders and we checked the reference lists of the articles that we found Special attention has been paid to methodologic problems affecting the selection of populations under study and the identification of cases
Results
An average prevalence rate for anorexia nervosa of 03% was found for young females The prevalence rates for bulimia nervosa were 1% and 01% for young women and young men, respectively The estimated prevalence of binge eating disorder is at least 1% The incidence of anorexia nervosa is 8 cases per 100,000 population per year and the incidence of bulimia nervosa is 12 cases per 100,000 population per year The incidence of anorexia nervosa increased over the past century, until the 1970s

TL;DR: The literature on the incidence, prevalence and mortality rates of eating disorders is discussed, with anorexia nervosa the most striking and binge eating disorder is more common among males and older individuals.
Abstract: Eating disorders are relatively rare among the general population. This review discusses the literature on the incidence, prevalence and mortality rates of eating disorders. We searched online Medline/Pubmed, Embase and PsycINFO databases for articles published in English using several keyterms relating to eating disorders and epidemiology. Anorexia nervosa is relatively common among young women. While the overall incidence rate remained stable over the past decades, there has been an increase in the high risk-group of 15–19 year old girls. It is unclear whether this reflects earlier detection of anorexia nervosa cases or an earlier age at onset. The occurrence of bulimia nervosa might have decreased since the early nineties of the last century. All eating disorders have an elevated mortality risk; anorexia nervosa the most striking. Compared with the other eating disorders, binge eating disorder is more common among males and older individuals.
