Participants completed self-report measures assessing symptoms of DE (EDS scale) and ED diagnoses, socio-demographic variables, lifestyle, gender identity and financial status. Statistical analyses included logistic regression to assess associations between factors known to be linked to DE and EDs, chi-square tests for group comparisons, and t-tests for continuous variables.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>From 2018 to 2022, the prevalence of self-reported EDs increased among females (3.5% in 2018 and 4.5% in 2022) and males (0.4% in 2018 and 0.6% in 2022), while gender-diverse students exhibited the overall highest ED rates (around 10% in both surveys). Anorexia nervosa remained the most common ED among females. Daily\/almost daily exercise, financial difficulties, loneliness, and living alone were closely linked to EDs, odds ratios (ORs) ranging from 1.3 to 3.7 in females. Similar patterns were seen for female DE cases. Although numbers were low, financial difficulties and particularly loneliness indicated higher risk for DE and any EDs among males.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The findings suggest a relative rise in ED prevalence among students after the COVID-19 pandemic, while DE symptoms and -cases only changed minimally.
