Trends and prevalence of eating disorders in children and adolescents

Figure 1 Estimated annual percentage change of prevalence and disability-adjusted life years for eating disorders at the global and regional levels. EAPC: Estimated annual percentage change; DALYs: Disability-adjusted life years; SDI: Sociodemographic index.

Figure 2 Prevalence rates and disability-adjusted life years rates of eating disorders in different age groups globally. A: Prevalence rates; B: Disability-adjusted life years rates.

Figure 3 Burden of eating disorders at the national level. A and B: Prevalence rates in 2019 (A) and the estimated annual percentage change of prevalence rates from 1990 to 2019 (B) of eating disorders in 204 countries or territories; C and D: Disability-adjusted life years (DALY) rates in 2019 (C) and the estimated annual percentage change of DALY rates from 1990 to 2019 (D) of eating disorders in 204 countries or territories.

Figure 4 Rates of prevalence A and disability-adjusted life years B of eating disorders by sociodemographic index from 1990 to 2019, and expected value-based sociodemographic index. A and B: The black line represents the average expected relationship between sociodemographic index and prevalence (A) or disability-adjusted life years (B) of eating disorders based on values from all regions from 1990 to 2019. SDI: Sociodemographic index.

Figure 5 Correlation. A: Correlation between the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) of prevalence rates and the prevalence rates in 1990, and the EAPC of disability-adjusted life year rates and the disability-adjusted life year rates in 1990; B: Correlation between the EAPC of prevalence rates and the human development indexes (HDIs) in 2019, the EAPC of disability-adjusted life year rates and the HDIs in 2019. EAPC: Estimated annual percentage change; HDIs: Human development indexes.
