All EDs lead to physical and psychosocial functioning impairments in the patients which, in turn, may contribute to the persistence of the disease. The severity of EDs has been highlighted by their chronicity, medical complications, comorbidity, and high rates of mortality. Therefore, to address this important health issue, the current Special Issue collected 21 articles (i.e., three reviews and 18 research articles) focusing on the most recent and relevant scientific findings regarding advances in ED, such as genetic and epigenetic factors, biomarkers, comorbidity, clinical phenotypes, neurocognition, treatment predictors, and treatment models and therapeutic targets. Altogether, we believe that the articles contained in this Special Issue have largely achieved the initial objective of providing increased knowledge about the pathogenesis, the risk factors, the maintenance factors, and the most appropriate treatments tools for ED.HumanitiesbicsscSocial interactionbicsscanorexia nervosacognitive interpersonal modelsevere enduringphysical activityaccelerometryweight gaineating disordersmalnutritionneuroimagingfractal dimensioncortical complexityfood cravingfood addictionemotion regulationevent related potentialsEEGneurophysiologypsychopathologyASDcomorbidityemotion recognitionattentionsensory sensitivityautismAvon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC)body mass indexdisordered eating behaviorsdisordered eating cognitionspolygenic scoresnon-suicidal self-injurytemperamenteating disorderadolescencenocturnal eating syndromesleep-related eating disorderparasomniadelayed sleep-wake phaseMUPSmagnetic resonance spectroscopyMRSinsulaglutamateN-acetylaspartateNAAepigeneticsbulimia nervosaDNA methylationgene-environment interactionscaloric intakerefeeding syndromerefeeding protocolchildren and adolescentsparentscarersinterventionworkshoponline interventionalcohol and/or drug abusesubstance use disorderexecutive functionsimpulsivityemotional dysregulationdeep brain stimulationpsychosurgeryclinical trialsubcallosal cingulatenucleus accumbenshigh expressed emotioncaregiversdance studentsdisordered eating attitudesEating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26)mesomorphyectomorphyReceiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve analysisattention-deficit/hyperactivity disorderADHDlongitudinaltreatment outcomedropoutrTMStreatmentanorexiabulimiabinge eating disordersrestrictive anorexia nervosaweight recoveryanimal modelsacyl-ghrelindesacyl-ghrelinchronic food restrictionvirtual realityfear of gaining weightbody anxietybody image disturbancesbody-related attentional biasHumanitiesSocial interactionAguera Zaidaedt1302775Jiménez-Murcia SusanaedtAguera ZaidaothJiménez-Murcia SusanaothBOOK9910557561003321Advances in Eating Disorders3026553UNINA
