Eating disorders are prevalent, potentially lethal, and treatable, yet remain underprioritised within clinical care, research and policy. Further, with rising public health focus on obesity, there is heightened risk for inadvertent exacerbation of disordered eating and further marginalisation of these serious mental disorders. This editorial calls for corrective action.
进食障碍普遍存在，可能致命，但可治疗，然而在临床护理、研究和政策中仍未得到优先重视。此外，随着公众健康对肥胖问题的关注日益增加，进食障碍可能会被无意中加剧，这些严重的精神障碍也会进一步被边缘化，这种风险正在增加。本社论呼吁采取纠正措施。
