This study uses machine learning models to explore diagnostic and risk prediction markers for eating disorders (EDs), major depressive disorder (MDD), and alcohol use disorder (AUD)
31/05/23
This study uses the ALSPAC cohort to explore rates of maladaptive exercise behaviour in young people, how these develop over time, and factors associated with their onset.
13/05/23
This exploratory, mixed-methods study explored healthcare professionals' knowledge, skills, and views of food insecurity in their patients, revealing important future directions both for research and clinical practice.
24/04/23
This paper uses the IMAGEN cohort to identify neurobiological mechanisms that may underlie a general psychopthology factor for common psychatric disorders.
13/04/23
This paper aims to develop and validate risk prediction models of the onset of persistence of eating disorders. The most important predictors in this model include psychological distress and weight and shape concerns.
06/01/23
This study explores the bidirectional relationships between fear of negative evaluation and weight/shape concerns over a 3-year period in adolescents.
20/12/22
This paper gives an overview of the EDIFY programme, including our research questions and the methods for our six workstreams
08/12/22
This study explored whether difficulties with emotion regulation are associated with the onset of eating disorder behaviours over a 12 month period
09/11/22
This paper investigates the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of a new cognitive behavioural theory based prevention programme designed to reduce the risk of developing an eating disorder, in a sample of female university students in Turkey.
01/11/22
This study was conducted across 22 sites world-wide and examined the differences in brain structure in 1,648 participants including those with anorexia nervosa who were acutely underweight, with partially restored weight, and healthy controls.
01/08/22
This study explores how body image and disordered eating behaviours changed over the COVID-19 pandemic and whether certain groups (e.g., younger people, those with eating disorders) were at greater risk of negative outcomes of this time.
14/07/22
This study investigates the experience of sexual harassment as a risk factor for weight gain and weight/shape concerns in a community sample of adolescents, with potential mediating factors of self-objectification and psychological distress.
06/01/22
This study explores how victimisation from peers is associated with weight and shape concerns in adolescents.
15/12/21
This study analysed data from 1,386 participants collected in the IMAGEN study to explore the development of disordered eating behaviours and associated mental health problems in adolescence.
12/10/21
This study explored inhibitory control processes in people with binge eating disorder using transcranial direct current stimulation
20/09/21
This study conducted secondary analysis of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium genome-wide association study (GWAS) on anorexia nervosa, to investigate whether common genetic variation contributes to the age of onset of anorexia nervosa and the genetic associations between age of onset of AN and age at menarche.
06/09/21
This study examines how gender compatibility (how typical one feels of one's gender and how content one feels with one's gender) relates to drive for muscularity in male adolescents.
15/07/21
This study combined data from the Anorexia Nervosa Genetics Initiative and the Eating Disorders Working Group of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium to conduct a genome-wide association study identifying eight significant loci.
21/05/21
This study used fMRI to explore whether people with anorexia nervosa may experience negative effects from excessive self-control over long and short periods of time.
11/03/21
This study explores how different aspects of body image (e.g., dissatisfaction, over-valuation) predict the onset and maintenance of eating disorders.
11/01/21
This paper uses the Millennium Cohort Study to explore how being victimised by peers and/or siblings is associated with changes in mental health outcomes over adolescence.
03/12/20
This multi-centre, longitudinal study assessed data from 1623 adolescents to explore whether associations exist between disordered eating behaviours and other mental health disorders in adolescence and to what extent these associations are genetically predisposed.
26/05/20
This paper systematically reviewed 22 longitudinal, prospective, non-clinical cohort studies to explore symptom trajectories of children and adolescents into eating disorders.
25/03/19
This paper analysed data from the IMAGEN study to investigate the neural correlates of failed inhibitory control as a potential biomarker for disordered eating behaviour.
