A systematic review of COVID-19 and the presentation of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder-like symptoms.

Of the youth who perceived COVID-19 to have triggered their eating disorder, duration of symptoms was significantly shorter from onset to assessment (mean: 5.6 months compared) than those who did not (mean: 11.6 months; P = 0.007), and although more (78.9% compared with 55.2%) were medically unstable (heart rate below 45 beats per minute; blood pressure <90/50 mmHg; weighed <75% less than ideal body weight; abnormal blood electrolytes), this did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0.09).
