From awareness to action: an urgent call to reduce mortality and improve outcomes in eating disorders

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

High mortality rates and poor outcomes from eating disorders, especially anorexia nervosa, are largely preventable and require urgent action. A national strategy to address this should include prevention; early detection; timely access to integrated physical and psychological treatments; safe management of emergencies; suicide prevention; and investment in training, services and research.
