We’re proud to share that Dr Başak İnce Çağlar @basakince.bsky.social‬ has been awarded a Launchpad Grant in Eating Disorders Research from the Medical Research Foundation 🎉 ‪@medresfdn.bsky.social‬

Eating disorders typically develop during adolescence or emerging adulthood — where people are vulnerable to loneliness. @medresfdn.bsky.social has funded @basakince.bsky.social to inform the development of assessment and treatment approaches www.medicalresearchfoundation.org.uk/projects/lon...

A recent study investigated how emerging adults with anorexia experienced support from family and friends. Findings highlighted the interplay between the development and recovery from anorexia and the process of becoming independent during emerging adulthood. Read the paper here: t.co/79nmdn0zqe

People with eating disorders (ED) often struggle with anxiety, which can worsen symptoms and hinder recovery. This review found mixed evidence for medications treating anxiety in EDs, but more research is needed. Read the full review here: t.co/G7ExPAJo6B

🧠Autistic people with EDs face unique barriers to care. This paper explores how the #PEACEPathway—a tailored, autism-informed ED approach—improves engagement. 8 key domains emerged, leading to a practical self-assessment checklist for services. www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/17...

🧬🔬 New study finds significantly lower leptin levels in people with anorexia nervosa vs. recovered individuals and healthy controls—highlighting leptin as a potential state biomarker. IGF-1 may also play a role, but more research is needed. www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/17...

🧠New twin study finds links between depression and eating behaviours — especially emotional and restrained eating. Genetic and environmental factors partly explain this connection, with antidepressants also playing a role. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

For day 5 of #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek, we're sharing work from EDIFY WS 5! We have reached 50% of our recruitment target for the RaISE trial of non-invasive neuromodulation for anorexia 🧠 We are still recruiting! To find out more, contact [email protected]

For day 4 of #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek, we're sharing work from EDIFY Workstreams 3/4! These Workstreams are focused on understanding how young people recover from their eating disorder and how their eating disorder changes over time. As such, we are recruiting for STORY.

You can find out more about the study by watching our recruitment video or visit the EDIFY website: tinyurl.com/WeWantToHear... youtu.be/gRyVHnKYw4Y?...

Additionally, if you are interested in learning more about the scientific side of STORY, you can read our published protocol paper using the link here: tinyurl.com/STORYProtoco...

For day 3 of #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek, we’re sharing work from EDIFY Workstream 2!

For day 3 of #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek, we’re sharing work from EDIFY Workstream 2! This workstream uses large cohort data to explore the interplay of risk and protective factors for eating disorders, including unique and shared pathways in different groups.

For day 2 of #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek, we’re sharing an update on EDIFY Workstream 1 from the University of Nottingham. @tamsinparnell.bsky.social

📣This #edaw2025, we wanted to share a recent animation we made with Woven Ink on food insecurity in people with eating disorders. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMhU...

Please share this flyer with eating disorder caregivers, to help King’s College London with their vital research on improving access to ED care and the treatments people are offered. @kingsioppn.bsky.social @kingsedresearch.bsky.social @edifyresearch.bsky.social @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social

New publication on help-seeking in eating disorders, with consideration of intersecting marginalised characteristics. Brilliant first PhD publication from Jessica Wilkins! @freedfromed.bsky.social @edifyresearch.bsky.social @kingsedresearch.bsky.social jeatdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

📚Enteral tube nutrition (ETN) is sometimes needed as a part of treatment for anorexia nervosa. This scoping review explores outcomes across ETN phases, from initial nutrition to the transition to oral intake. www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/17...

⌛️Early intervention is key for people with eating disorders. We aim to test a the feasibility of a mobile app to encourage help-seeking behaviors and promote early intervention. Read the protocol here: link.springer.com/content/pdf/...

Drop-in and speak to the Joint R&D Office about any questions related to setting up and running studies in @maudsleynhs.bsky.social 🗓️Next session is Wed 5 Feb, 12:30 - 13:30 📍Seminar Room 5, IoPPN Register: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/monthly-mi... @kingsioppn.bsky.social

🧠Autism & ADHD are more common in adults with BN/BED, yet patient experiences & treatment options remain underexplored. More research is needed to improve care & outcomes. Read this recent review here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

We just published a systematic review on the impact of the out-of-home nutritional labels (i.e., restaurants, cafes) on people with eating disorders. Key points and next steps below 👇 bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/3/1/...

Calorie labels on menus are negatively impacting people with eating disorders. A new study from @kingsnmpc.bsky.social published in the BMJ Public Health found that people with eating disorders changed their behaviours if presented with calorie labels on a menu. www.kcl.ac.uk/news/calorie...

What if we could revolutionize care for Feeding and Eating Disorders (FEDs)? 🌟 Our latest review dives into the strategies for increasing personalization of management. #eatingdisorders #research onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

🧠A new study, as a part of the @EDIFYresearch project, highlights the relationships between eating behaviours, genetic predispositions and brain maturation over adolescence. See the link below for more! pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Congratulations to Professor Kate Tchanturia who has been awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours List. Your dedication and expertise inspire us all. We’re proud to have you on our team! 🎉

First post on Bluesky! Hello everyone 👋🏻 Here’s the link to a podcast I recorded with the wonderful Bryony Gordon. We explore her experience and treatment of Binge Eating Disorder. Head over to podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t... to listen to our discussion. 🩵

Hi Bluesky! Excited to start my journey here. As a first post, I'd like to share a paper I published earlier this year: A novel whole-team training programme for adult eating disorder services in England 🆕🎓 www.cambridge.org/core/service...

💡A fascinating paper by @chubini.bsky.social explores the #sensoryexperiences of people in inpatient care for anorexia nervosa using sensory ethnography. 🚨Themes explore experiences of distressing sensory triggers and ambivalence toward treatment in #eatingdisorders www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/13...

Bone health is so important to be aware of. This study shows that even if you have “first time” anorexia your bones can be affected. Those with longer term anorexia were 13.4x more likely to have bone fractures than healthy controls. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39572404/

🚨A recent systematic review investigated bone fracture history in women with first episode or persistent anorexia nervosa (AN) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39572404/ #anorexianervosa #eatingdisorders #systematicreview

🌟 Hello, Bluesky! 🌟 We’re thrilled to start our journey here and can’t wait to connect with this amazing community. Let’s explore new horizons together, spark great conversations, and share exciting ideas. Follow to see our ongoing research on #eatingdisorder causes, consequences, and treatment.
