Social Disparity and Treatment-Seeking in Eating Disorders During Childhood and Adolescence: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study.

Diagnosed eating disorders were more common among individuals with higher parental education, following a stepwise pattern.

Compared to short education (∼12 years), long education (∼17-20 years) was associated with higher risk (incidence rate ratios = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.21-1.52), whereas basic education (∼10 years) was linked to lower risk (incidence rate ratios = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.59-0.83).

No clear pattern was observed for household income.
