Mixed-methods scoping review highlights gaps in experimental studies on orthorexia in diverse populations, suggesting more research is needed.
The main research gaps found were the absence of experimental studies, lack of studies in non-Westernized populations, restrictive samples, and lack of investigations about developmental pathways. Longitudinal, experimental and qualitative studies in future research are warranted to advance knowledge.
