Publication trends were analyzed,\u00a0and leading journals were identified. Network analysis using VOSviewer identified thematic clusters, while a bump chart visualized changes in key research terms over time. Trends, associations, and influencing factors of public engagement and academic attention were assessed using Altmetric Attention Scores per Year (AASPY) and citations per year (CPY).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 101,993 publications were analyzed. Research output increased significantly, with the <jats:italic>International Journal of Eating Disorders<\/jats:italic> as the leading contributor. Six major research clusters were identified, and eight key terms (humans, female, anorexia nervosa, adult, adolescent, male, feeding and eating disorders, and child) remained dominant across all decades. AASPY and CPY increased over time but showed a weak correlation (<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic>\n<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u20099.09%), suggesting that digital engagement was not strongly associated with scholarly attention. Studies on young adults and those published in multidisciplinary journals had higher online engagement, while research on female and young adult populations, as well as neuroscience, received greater academic attention.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings highlight the sustained growth of research output, the persistence of core thematic areas, and the divergence between public engagement and academic attention.
