“…Although the same questionnaire was used as in Appolinaris et al [19 ▪▪ ] and de Moraes et al [14], these proportions are considerably higher as they were not followed up by a structured interview. Still, this might also be reflective of the younger female student sample in de Moraes et al [20].…”

“…Interestingly, Black individuals reported higher prevalence for all disorders compared to other ethnicities, but only statistically significantly higher for bulimia nervosa. Finally, de Moraes et al [20] conducted a study in which 403 dietitian or psychology college students responded to a questionnaire investigating prevalence of binge eating-related disorders. They report prevalence proportions of 6.2% for bulimia nervosa and 2.7% for binge eating disorder.…”

Purpose of reviewWe systematically reviewed the recent literature on the epidemiology of eating disorders in Latin America.Recent findingsMost screened articles only investigated risk for eating disorders or disordered eating behaviors. Four studies reported prevalence for eating disorders. One study reported age-standardized prevalence ranging from 0.04% (95% CI [0.03, 0.06]) to 0.09 % (95% CI [0.07, 0.13] for anorexia nervosa and from 0.13% (95% CI [0.08, 0.17]) to 0.27% (95% CI [0.18, 0.37]) for bulimia nervosa. Three additional studies conducted in Brazil identified a general eating disorder point-prevalence of 0.40 % in children aged 6 to 14 years and a point-prevalence of 0.7 % (95 % CI [0.34, 1.55]) for bulimia nervosa, 1.4 % (95 % CI [0.81, 2.43]) for binge eating disorder and 6.2 % (95 % CI [3.10, 5.27]) for recurrent binge eating. SummarySince 2020, only few studies were published on the epidemiology of full-threshold eating disorders in Latin America. Prevalence was in a comparable range to previous findings. No studies regarding new DSM-5 eating disorder diagnoses were identified, and studies investigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on prevalence or incidence of eating disorders in these countries are needed.

“…In this study, a dichotomous approach was used to identify the presence or absence of BED and BN. The Brazilian-Portuguese version of QEWP-5 has demonstrated reliability and validity in the assessment of disordered eating behaviours in the general population of Brazil [ 18 , 19 ].…”

Grazing Prevalence and Associations with Eating and General Psychopathology, Body Mass Index, and Quality of Life in a Middle-Income Country

Research from high-income countries has shown that grazing is a common but problematic eating pattern, particularly when associated with a sense of loss of control. However, it is unclear whether these patterns hold globally. Thus, the goal of this study was to extend previous research by examining the prevalence and clinical correlates of compulsive grazing (CG) and non-compulsive grazing (NCG) in a middle-income country. Participants (N = 2297) comprised adult residents from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Recruitment of this population-based household survey occurred from September 2019 to February 2020. The short inventory of grazing was used to operationalise grazing subtypes. Chi-square analyses, logistic regression, and univariate tests were conducted using the complex samples procedure. The point prevalence of regular CG was 10.2% (n = 239) and was consistent with high-income countries, while NCG was 29.8% (n = 679) and was less frequent than reported in high-income countries. Additionally, similar to high-income countries, CG was associated with a higher body mass index and higher odds of eating disorders, eating disorder symptomatology, depression, anxiety, and a lower physical and mental health-related quality of life, than no grazing and NCG. Overall, this study demonstrated that grazing patterns in high-income countries extend to middle-income countries.
