From Obesity to Eating Disorders: Scaling Up the Evidence

Dear Colleagues,

During recent decades obesity has developed in epidemic proportions globally, greatly exceeding the prevalence of all non-communicable diseases. In parallel, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has inflated mental health issues, including eating disorders. Consequently, a double epidemic emerges, with obesity on the one hand and eating disorders on the other. Although both disorders are related to food intake and body weight, the first is easy to diagnose whereas the second is a silent, hidden one. Nevertheless, both entities are associated with malnutrition and detrimental health issues, especially at young ages.

In this Special Issue of Nutrients we welcome the submission of manuscripts derived from original research or meta-research data. Observational and interventional studies are welcome, parallel to narrative reviews and evidence synthesis, to achieve new insights into the epidemics of obesity and eating disorders
