Associations between regulatory problems in early childhood and parental feeding practices, child eating behaviour, and weight
Early difficulties in the regulation of emotion, sleep and eating are common in early childhood and may shape developmental pathways of eating behaviours and weight. Understanding these pathways is key to identifying modifiable targets for promoting healthy eating and growth. This systematic review aimed to synthesise available evidence linking regulatory problems (RPs) of emotion, sleeping, and eating in early childhood to feeding, eating, and w…
Will They Have It Too?’ Mothers’ Perspectives of Familial Risk for Eating Disorders
Weight Gain in Family-Based Treatment for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (Arfid) with and Without Autism
Health-threatening underweight and poor growth is a frequent consequence of Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and should be a priority for treatment in children and adolescents (young people, YP). Coexisting autism is more prevalent in YP with ARFID than in YP with other eating disorders. Treatment studies are still sparse for ARFID, and it is not known whether treatment response is lower in those with coexisting autism, as it is …
Parental verbal communication and modeling behavior during mealtimes shape offspring eating behavior – A systematic review with a focus on clinical implications for eating disorders
Mother-infant feeding interactions in mothers with and without eating disorder history
BACKGROUND: A growing body of evidence suggests that children of mothers with eating disorders (EDs) have a greater risk of early feeding problems. Recognizing and reacting adequately to the infant's signals during feeding is crucial for the child's development of internal and external regulatory mechanisms of food intake. Parental EDs might affect this ability. Therefore, we investigated the quality of mother-infant interactions during feeding u…
Patterns of maladaptive exercise behavior from ages 14–24 in a longitudinal cohort
BACKGROUND: Exercise for weight loss and maladaptive exercise (exercise that results in negative consequences or interference with daily life) are common behaviors among youth and are associated with increased risk of disordered eating symptoms. The current study clarifies processes that influence exercise-related risk in adolescence and young adulthood, including the frequency with which young people transition between engaging in exercise for w…
Mapping Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services and the Interface During Transition to Adult Services in Six Swiss Cantons
Despite the availability of resources and even if the possibilities of access to care are on average higher than in many European countries, issues regarding transition remain comparable in six Swiss cantons when compared to Europe. Meaning that beyond resources, it is the coordination between services that needs to be worked on. Importantly, implementing those changes would not require investing financial resources but rather working on the coor…
Mental health before and during the Covid-19 pandemic in two longitudinal UK population cohorts
Background The COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation measures are likely to have a marked effect on mental health. It is important to use longitudinal data to improve inferences. Aims To quantify the prevalence of depression, anxiety and mental well-being before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, to identify groups at risk of depression and/or anxiety during the pandemic. Method Data were from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (…

The genomics of childhood eating behaviours
The experience of pregnancy during anorexia nervosa
The objective of this study was to explore themes and meanings associated with pregnancy in women with a history of anorexia nervosa (AN). Five women with a diagnosis of AN during pregnancy were selected for individual semi-structured interviews. The data (transcripts) were analyzed according to interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). The main themes and meanings associated with pregnancy during anorexia nervosa were collected. After IPA,…
Childhood risk factors for lifetime bulimic or compulsive eating by age 30 years in a British national birth cohort
Eating behaviours in preadolescence are associated with body dissatisfaction and mental disorders – Results of the CCC2000 study
A new social-family model for eating disorders
Does maternal history of eating disorders predict mothers' feeding practices and preschoolers' emotional eating

OBJECTIVES: Markers of prenatal hormone exposure have been associated with the development of eating disorder (ED) behaviors. Our aim was to determine whether 2D:4D ratio, a marker for in utero testosterone exposure, is associated with risk for ED in a large population-based cohort: the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC). METHODS: This is the first study to investigate prenatal testosterone exposure in children at high-risk …
