EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2022
Media advisory: To contact the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, email the Media Coordinator at Newsroom@USPSTF.net or call 301-951-9203. The full report and related articles are linked to this news release.
Bottom Line: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) concludes that current evidence is insufficient to make a recommendation about screening for eating disorders in adolescents and adults. Eating disorders, such as binge eating disorder, bulimia and anorexia nervosa, are associated with short- and long-term adverse health outcomes, including physical, psychological and social problems. The USPSTF has not previously made a recommendation on this topic.
