Prevalence of disordered eating in athletes categorized by emphasis on leanness and activity type – a systematic review

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

There are variations in prevalence of DE behaviors depending on athlete type. It is important to identify the risk for DE early in athletes so emphasis can be placed on treatment options to nullify progression to an eating disorder, lower negative impacts on an athlete's performance, and prevent other negative health effects. Using sport groups is important to clinical practice as well as research, as certain sports may have a higher risk for development of DE.
