It has been three years since many countries around the world were sent into a nation-wide lockdown due to the Coronavirus. As the disease infected the lungs of many people across the world, there were other adverse effects that came with not only the disease itself but the aftermath of the lockdowns. Those living with pre-existing health conditions saw the COVID-19 pandemic affect them in different ways to those without. Others saw conditions materialize due to the unprecedented circumstances they found themselves in.
This Research Topic aims to showcase evidence on how the COVID-19 pandemic affected and continues to affect those living with eating disorders and those who developed an eating disorder during that time. It hopes to provide insights into research and interventions on how this can be tackled going forward in the hope that the research presented will translate to best practice applications in clinical and public health settings.
We invite researchers to submit a range of articles including but not limited to original research articles, reviews, meta-analyses, opinions, perspectives, and case reports to provide new evidence on the following:
- The physical impacts of COVID-19 on those living with an eating disorder
- Long COVID in people living with an eating disorder
- The mental impacts of lockdowns on people living with an eating disorder
- The impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic had on care provided for people living with an eating disorder
- What we have learnt about COVID-19 and eating disorders since the beginning of the pandemic
