Screen‐detected disordered eating and related traits in a large population sample of females in mainland China: China Health and Nutrition Survey

Abstract

The prevalence of screen-detected disordered eating in mainland China was comparable to other populations worldwide obtained from a recent meta-analysis. The distribution of disordered eating and related traits varied by several sociodemographic factors, which include age, BMI, urban/rural residence, education, and income, suggesting important directions for case detection and intervention in China.
