“…Nobakht and Dezhkam (2000) in Tehran reported 0.9% anorexia nervosa, and 3.2% bulimia nervosa (Nobakht & Dezhkam, 2000). Peláez Fernández, Labrador, & Raich, (2007) in Madrid reported 2.29% bulimia nervosa and 0.33% anorexia nervosa among girls and 0.16% bulimia nervosa and 0.00% anorexia nervosa among boys (Pelaez Fernandez, Labrador, & Raich, 2007). Swanson, Crow, Le Grange, Swendsen, and Merikangas (2011), in the US reported 0.3% anorexia nervosa, 0.9% bulimia nervosa, and 1.6% BED (Swanson et al, 2011).…”

Objective This study investigated the prevalence of feeding and eating disorders, and identified their correlates and comorbidities among children and adolescents. Method We used the nationally representative sample of the Iranian Children and Adolescents' Psychiatric disorders (IRCAP) survey, with 30,532 participants randomly selected by a multistage cluster sampling method. We employed the kiddie schedule for affective disorders and schizophrenia‐present and lifetime version (K‐SADS‐PL) semi‐structured face‐to‐face interview to screen for any psychiatric disorders, including feeding and eating disorders, and associated factors. We used multivariate binary logistic regression to analyze the data. Results Valid data from 27,111 participants were analyzed. The total prevalence of feeding and eating disorders among children and adolescents was 0.89 (0.81–1.10). In all types of feeding and eating disorders, the adjusted odds ratio was higher among girls (except binge‐eating disorder) and older adolescents but was lower among rural residents. The most common psychiatric comorbidities observed in children and adolescents with feeding and eating disorders were obsessive–compulsive disorder (20.2%), agoraphobia (20.2%), depressive disorder (16.4%), social phobia (10.1%), oppositional defiant disorder (10.1%), generalized anxiety disorder (9.4%), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (7.5%), and conduct disorder (5.7%), which were significantly more common compared to their peers without feeding and eating disorders. Discussion Older age, female gender and living in an urban area are predisposing factors in feeding and eating disorders (in binge‐eating disorder, the male gender is a positive correlate). We suggest that future works pay attention to the role of gender, comorbidities and predisposing factors.

“…In studies where overall lifetime ED prevalence differentiated between females and males (regardless of assessment method), rates ranged from 1.0% 73 to 22.7% 96 in females, and from 0.3% 43,73 to 0.6% 56 in males. In two-stage design studies, point prevalence was most commonly reported with overall ED rates for females and males ranging from 0.5% 34 to 5.3%, 36 and 0.62% 28 to 0.64% 36 respectively. The majority of studies using interviews did not report overall ED rates, but rather diagnose specific rates (see Table 1).…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to systematically review the literature on assessment of eating disorder prevalence during the DSM-IV era .Method: A PubMed search was conducted targeting articles on prevalence, incidence and epidemiology of eating disorders. The review was performed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, and was limited to DSM-IV based eating disorder diagnoses published between 1994 and 2015.Results: A total of 74 studies fulfilled inclusion criteria and were included in the study. Results yielded evidence of over 40 different assessment instruments used to assess eating disorder prevalence, with the EAT-40 being the most commonly used screening instrument, and

“…Specifically, at the beginning of the century in Spain, the estimated prevalence of AN in female students between the ages of 12 and 18, was 0.45% (Rojo et al, 2003). A study completed only four years later in the same country, however, reported a decreased incidence of 0.33%, likely due to the inclusion of females up to 21 years of age (Peláez Fernández et al, 2007). In Portugal, female students between 12 and 23-yearsold, have a purported prevalence rate of 0.39% (Machado et al, 2007) - Higher prevalence rates have also been reported in studies using so-called "three-stage" surveys.…”

“…Clinical interviews are a commonly used tool to control for this limitation; minimizing false positives and reaching a more complete analysis of eating behavior changes (Heatherton et al, 1995). To decrease the high number of subjects incorrectly labeled as not having AN symptomology (false negatives) (Rodríguez-Cano et al, 2005) and to control for the predisposition of people with AN to hide their symptomology (Peláez Fernández et al, 2007), it is highly important for researchers to use control groups. The control groups are deemed "not at-risk" by receiving scores below clinical cut-off on the questionnaire of choice.…”
