This study presents national epidemiological survey data on the prevalence and correlates of anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge\u2010eating disorder (BED) and their association with other mental health disorders, impairment in role functioning, and individual help\u2010seeking behaviors in the Saudi National Mental Health Survey (SNMHS).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>A face\u2010to\u2010face survey was conducted in a nationally representative household sample of Saudi citizens aged 15\u201365 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u20094004). The Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI 3.0) was used to produce estimates of lifetime and 12\u2010month prevalence and treatment of common DSM\u2010IV mental disorders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twelve\u2010month prevalence of any of the three EDs was 3.2%; the overall lifetime prevalence was 6.1%. Education and marital status were significantly associated with both 12\u2010month and lifetime EDs prevalence. Significant mental health comorbidities associated with 12\u2010month EDs were anxiety, mood, and impulse\u2010control disorders, while lifetime EDs were significantly related to all disorders. A similar percentage of respondents that reported having ED\u2010related treatment at some point in their lifetime utilized healthcare and nonhealthcare sector. There was a significant relationship between body mass index category, and lifetime BED and BN.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The 12\u2010month prevalence of EDs in the Saudi population was higher than the EDs rates reported worldwide. These findings can help healthcare experts, and policymakers in the implementation of initiatives for raising awareness of EDs among the Saudi population, and the development of a country\u2010wide plan for the prevention of EDs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Public Significance Statement<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study presents data on the prevalence, correlates, and help\u2010seeking behaviors of AN, BN, and BED, in the Saudi National Mental Health Survey (SNMHS). Obtaining information on this underrepresented region is essential due to the large differences in cross\u2010national data in addition to cultural beliefs about mental illness and treatment seeking to exert an important influence on eating disorders. Such knowledge could provide a better understand of mechanisms underlying the development of eating disorders and thereby improve prediction, prevention, and treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/eat.23790","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,6]],"date-time":"2022-08-06T03:40:18Z","timestamp":1659757218000},"page":"1541-1552","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["The prevalence and correlates of bulimia nervosa, binge\u2010eating disorder, and anorexia nervosa: The Saudi National Mental Health Survey"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2298-3509","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmad N.","family":"AlHadi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, College of Medicine King Saud University  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"SABIC Psychological Health Research &amp; Applications Chair (SPHRAC), College of Medicine King Saud University  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amani","family":"Almeharish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Scientific Computing Department King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa","family":"Bilal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SABIC Psychological Health Research &amp; Applications Chair (SPHRAC), College of Medicine King Saud University  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Scientific Computing Department King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Research Department King Salman Center for Disability Research  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdulhameed","family":"Al\u2010Habeeb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Mental Health Promotion Ministry of Health  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdullah","family":"Al\u2010Subaie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SABIC Psychological Health Research &amp; Applications Chair (SPHRAC), College of Medicine King Saud University  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Research Department King Salman Center for Disability Research  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry Edrak Medical Center  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Talal","family":"Naseem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SABIC Psychological Health Research &amp; Applications Chair (SPHRAC), College of Medicine King Saud University  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Scientific Computing Department King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Research Department King Salman Center for Disability Research  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8826-3224","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yasmin A.","family":"Altwaijri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SABIC Psychological Health Research &amp; Applications Chair (SPHRAC), College of Medicine King Saud University  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Scientific Computing Department King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Research Department King Salman Center for Disability Research  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10640266.2021.1969495"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.37268\/mjphm\/vol.19\/no.1\/art.80"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5539\/ies.v11n5p123"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","volume-title":"The burdens of mental disorders: Global perspectives from the WHO world mental health surveys","author":"Alonso J.","year":"2013"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","first-page":"1077","article-title":"The prevalence of psychiatric disorders among visitors to faith healers in Saudi Arabia","volume":"30","author":"Alosaimi F.
