Abstract

Eating disorders are characterized by abnormal eating behavior which may also be associated with a preoccupation with body shape, size, and weight. They cause significant morbidity and mortality. Of all mental disorders, the mortality rate of anorexia nervosa is among the highest. In 1992, The World Health Organization (WHO) published the tenth revision of the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD; ICD-10. The guidelines on eating disorders in the ICD-10 had several limitations. In 2022, the 11th revision (ICD-11) was officially released. Many changes had been made in an attempt to rectify these shortcomings. During the intervening 30 years between the release of ICD-10 and ICD-11, the literature on eating disorders and the evidence to inform clinical practice advanced greatly and eating disorders are still actively being studied. Thus, the knowledge and understanding of eating disorders has progressed rapidly in recent years. However, keeping abreast of current research can be difficult so we have compiled tables of the resources recommended by active practitioners and researchers. These include information on regulatory bodies, societies, organizations, and other resources.
