Multivariate Trajectories of Eating Disorder Symptoms and Weight Status in 10‐ to 17‐Year‐Old Children and Adolescents

GBMTM results support the developmental specificity of bulimic/binge-eating syndromes and noneating-disordered overweight across adolescence. High-risk subgroups in both sexes-and their particularly unfavorable outcomes in girls-underscore the need for sex-specific early identification strategies that consider longitudinal constellations of multiple ED symptoms and weight status rather than single indicators.
