Introduction: The purpose of this study was to estimate disordered eating behavior (DEB) prevalence in military dependent adolescents, compare it to previous reports in the general adolescent population, and investigate whether obesity, sex and gender, or key military-specific demographics (parent in the military, parental active duty [AD] status, military branch, number of lifetime moves, number of parental deployments) are associated with higher DEB risk.
Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study of military dependents aged 11-19 years seen in an adolescent clinic at a naval medical center for annual health maintenance visits. We manually abstracted body mass index, gender, sex, military demographics, and ChEAT-26 eating disorder screening results from electronic health records.
