Risk factors for the emergence of childhood eating disturbances: a five-year prospective study
Article Abstract:
The risk for the emergence of inhibited eating, overeating, secretive eating and vomiting accelerates annually through age five, according to research undertaken among 216 newborns and their parents recruited from three hospitals in the San Francisco Bay, CA, area. The cumulative hazards of the five-year period for the onset of secretive eating and overeating were greater than for the onset of vomiting and inhibited eating. The greatest risk appears to take place around age five, but it is possible that the hazard for the onset of eating disturbances continues to rise during late childhood.
