A scoping review explores how individual and parental emotional factors influence disordered eating and weight in youth, suggesting areas for future intervention.
Existing evidence shows that depression and ADHD are relevant factors associated with the development of DEBs and weight problems. These might be important targets for early intervention and prevention. There is a lack of evidence regarding the potential link between anxiety and parental emotional factors, and the development of DEBs and weight problems during late childhood and young adulthood. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current evidence base, identifying key knowledge gaps, and thereby informing future research and prevention strategies targeting emotional and behavioral risk factors for DEBs and weight problems.
