Individuals with eating disorders (EDs) are at significant risk for increases in symptomatology and diminished treatment access during the COVID-19 pandemic. Environmental precautions to limit coronavirus spread have affected food availability and access to healthy coping mechanisms, and have contributed to weight-stigmatizing social media messages that may be uniquely harmful to those experiencing EDs. Additionally, changes in socialization and routine, stress, and experiences of trauma that are being experienced globally may be particularly deleterious to ED risk and recovery. This paper presents a brief review of the pertinent literature related to the risk of EDs in the context of COVID-19 and offers suggestions for modifying intervention efforts to accommodate the unique challenges individuals with EDs and providers may be experiencing in light of the ongoing public health crisis.
患有饮食失调症（EDs）的个体在 COVID-19 大流行期间面临症状加重和治疗机会减少的巨大风险。为限制冠状病毒传播而采取的环境预防措施影响了食物的供应和获得健康应对机制的机会，并且助长了对体重的污名化社交媒体信息，这可能对那些经历 EDs 的人特别有害。此外，正在全球范围内经历的社交和日常生活习惯的改变、压力和创伤经历可能对 ED 风险和康复特别有害。本文简要回顾了与 COVID-19 背景下 ED 风险相关的相关文献，并就如何调整干预措施以适应个体 ED 和提供者可能在持续的公共卫生危机中面临的独特挑战提出了建议。
