“…Although single timepoint estimates from high-risk or community samples exist (Hoek et al, 2005;Isomaa, Isomaa, Marttunen, Kaltiala-Heino, & Bjorkqvist, 2009;Keski-Rahkonen et al, 2007;Keski-Rahkonen et al, 2009;Nagl et al, 2016;Stice, Marti, & Rohde, 2013;van Hoeken, Veling, Smink, & Hoek, 2010), along with registry-based studies tracking developments from the 1930s to late 1990s (see reviews by Hoek & van Hoeken, 2003;Hsu, 1996), more recent knowledge of whether EDs are increasing or decreasing since the year 2000 has remained limited to few sources. Worldwide, information on recent time-trends in incidence has been largely derived from psychiatric or primary care registers in four countries, namely Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the UK (Gammelmark et al, 2015;Holland, Hall, Yeates, & Goldacre, 2016;Javaras et al, 2015;Micali, Hagberg, Petersen, & Treasure, 2013;Steinhausen & Jensen, 2015;van Son, van Hoeken, Bartelds, van Furth, & Hoek, 2006). In Denmark, an investigation of the Danish Central Psychiatric Research Register (DCPR) found an overall increase in AN from 1995 to 2010 in females aged 4-65 years (9.9-19.3/100,000), with the most frequent incidence of AN among girls aged 12-15 years (29.2-61.4/100,000) (Steinhausen & Jensen, 2015), whereas lower and stable incidence rates (IRs) of BN were detected.…”
