Are late-onset eating disorders in the elderly really the more common variant? Concerns around publication bias

Abstract: Lapid et al. (2010) provide a fascinating insight into the much over-looked problem of eating disorders (EDs) in older adults and highlight the fact that an ED is often not considered in our differential when assessing elderly patients.

“…Furthermore, eating disorders in the elderly could be disregarded (27). Geriatric anorexia could be hide a pre-existing subclinical and unrecognized anorexia nervosa in aging patients (27,28) or the high prevalence of comorbid psychological conditions, as late-life depression or anxiety, may increase the risk of developing concomitant eating disorders, as binge eating disorder or bulimia nervosa (29)(30)(31). It is therefore clear the importance of indepth screening to differentiate between impairments in eating behavior during aging.…”

“…10 Empirical evidence indicated the existence of biases throughout the whole research-dissemination process, including time-lag bias, outcome-reporting bias, gray-literature bias, full-publication bias, language bias, citation bias, and media-attention bias. 3 The term "research-dissemination profile" has been recommended to describe the extent to which study results are accessible, which ranges from completely inaccessible to fully accessible.…”

“…The level of detail in reporting symptom presentation and other clinically-relevant information varied considerably across case studies, and data such as age of onset may be particularly affected by recall bias or memory difficulties. Publication bias will also affect the literature base of available case studies, for example, late-onset cases may be overrepresented in journals due to novelty [69]. We lacked individual-level data for case series which appeared to include relevant cases.…”
