Patients with intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder were excluded. Data retrieved included demographic and anthropometric details and clinical variables relating to seizure types, EDs, and psychiatric disorders and behaviors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 376 subjects were included in the study: 84 adolescents with both epilepsy and eating disorders, 135 with only epilepsy, and 157 with only EDs. The rate of EDs in adolescents with epilepsy was 7.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 5.6%\u20138.5%) overall, 11.3% (95% CI 8.8%\u201314.3%) in females, and 3.1% (95% CI 1.9%\u20134.8%) in males. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) time difference between the onset of epilepsy to an ED was 1.6 (.5\u20133.6) years. Among adolescents with epilepsy, those with an ED were more likely to be female (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.001) and have a lower body mass index z\u2010score (zBMI) percentile (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001). Epilepsy type, seizure frequency, or seizure duration were not specific for having or not having EDs. Among adolescents with EDs, those with epilepsy had a younger onset of their EDs (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), included relatively more males (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.007), and consisted of more cases of anorexia\u2010nervosa\u2010restrictive type (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), and fewer cases of bulimia nervosa (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.04) and binge eating disorder (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.003). Adolescents with epilepsy and a comorbid ED were more likely to have psychiatric comorbidities such as depression, anxiety, and suicidality than adolescents with only epilepsy or EDs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Significance<\/jats:title><jats:p>EDs should be suspected and screened for in intellectually intact female and male adolescents with epilepsy, irrespective of their epilepsy type.
