Recent temporal changes in the prevalence of eating disorder (ED) symptoms and mental healthcare were examined in a national sample of U.S. young adults. Non-linear increases in ED symptoms and mental healthcare were identified among U.S. young adults overall from 2013 to 2020. U.S. young adults with higher BMIs, males, bisexual, and gay, lesbian, or queer individuals exhibited increasing ED burden over time.
