flag Low-income children face higher eating disorder risk due to food insecurity, despite limited treatment access.

flag A UK study published in JAMA Network Open finds that children from low-income families face a higher risk of developing eating disorders, linked to food insecurity. flag This condition, which affects families even above the poverty line due to high expenses, can disrupt hunger cues and create chronic stress, increasing vulnerability. flag Despite eating disorders affecting nearly 10% of people globally, low-income youth are less likely to access treatment. flag Food insecurity contributes through both physical and psychological effects, impacting mental health, academic performance, and long-term well-being.
