This holds true for all surveyed symptoms, including restrictive eating (odds ratio 5.5, 95% CI 4.5\u20136.7), compensatory vomiting (odds ratio 6.1, 95% CI 4.6\u20138.0), loss-of-control eating (odds ratio 2.6, 95% CI 2.3\u20133.1) and preoccupation with food (odds ratio 2.3, 95% CI 1.9\u20132.8). Likewise, symptoms are more common in individuals with both parents born abroad and individuals living in districts with a high percentage of migrant residents.
