Participants included all Danish individuals aged 6\u201324\u2009years from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2023. Monthly incident cases of any eating disorder, anorexia nervosa, and bulimia nervosa were analyzed using interrupted time\u2010series analysis.

The study included 11,693 individuals diagnosed with an eating disorder, median age 17 (IQR 14\u201320\u2009years). Incident cases increased during the pandemic (RR 1.29, 95% CI 1.15\u20131.45) and normalized post\u2010pandemic (RR 1.07, 95% CI 0.91\u20131.25) compared with pre\u2010pandemic predictions. Similar patterns were seen for anorexia and bulimia. Increases were significant for ages 13\u201316 (RR 1.19, 95% CI 1.02\u20131.38), 17\u201319 (RR 1.51, 95% CI 1.25\u20131.83), and 20\u201324 (RR 1.35, 95% CI 1.12\u20131.64).
