During 2013-2017, a total of 1,788 active component service members received incident diagnoses of one of the eating disorders: anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN) or "other/unspecified eating disorder" (OUED). The crude overall incidence rate of any eating disorder was 2.7 cases per 10,000 person-years. Of the case-defining diagnoses, OUED and BN accounted for 46.4% and 41.8% of the total incident cases, respectively. The overall incidence rate of any eating disorder among women was more than 11 times that among men. Overall rates were highest among service members in the youngest age groups (29 years or younger). Crude annual incidence rates of total eating disorders increased steadily between 2013 and 2016, after which rates decreased slightly. Results of the current study suggest that service members likely experience eating disorders at rates that are comparable to rates in the general population, and that rates of these disorders are potentially rising among service members. These findings underscore the need for appropriate prevention and treatment efforts in this population.
在2013年至2017年期间，共有1788名现役军人被确诊患有以下饮食失调症之一：神经性厌食症（AN）、神经性贪食症（BN）或“其他/未特定的饮食失调症”（OUED）。任何饮食失调症的总体粗发病率为每10000人年2.7例。在确诊病例中，OUED和BN分别占总发病病例的46.4%和41.8%。女性中任何饮食失调症的总体发病率是男性的11倍多。总体发病率在最年轻年龄组（29岁及以下）的军人中最高。2013年至2016年期间，饮食失调症的总粗年发病率稳步上升，此后略有下降。当前研究结果表明，军人患饮食失调症的比率可能与普通人群相当，并表明这些疾病在军人中的发病率可能正在上升。这些发现强调了在这一人群中进行适当预防和治疗工作的必要性。
