To investigate the prospective association of diet pill and laxative use for weight control with subsequent first eating disorder diagnosis in young women.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Methods. We used longitudinal data from 10\u2009058 US women spanning 2001 through 2016. We used multivariable logistic regression models, adjusting for age, race\/ethnicity, and overweight status to estimate the association between weight-control behaviors and subsequent eating disorder diagnosis.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results. Among those who had not previously received an eating disorder diagnosis, women who reported diet pill (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]\u2009=\u20095.6; 95% confidence interval [CI]\u2009=\u20093.0, 10.5) or laxative (AOR\u2009=\u20096.0; 95% CI\u2009=\u20094.2, 8.7) use for weight control had higher odds of receiving a subsequent first eating disorder diagnosis within 1 to 3 years than those who did not report using these products.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusions. Use of diet pills or laxatives for weight loss can be dangerous and may be a warning sign that warrants counseling and evaluation for the presence of or risk of developing an eating disorder.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Public Health Implications. Policymakers and public health professionals should develop and evaluate policy initiatives to reduce or prohibit access to diet pills and laxatives abused for weight control.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2019.305390","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,21]],"date-time":"2019-11-21T21:00:14Z","timestamp":1574370014000},"page":"109-111","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Diet Pill and Laxative Use for Weight Control and Subsequent Incident Eating Disorder in US Young Women: 2001\u20132016"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"110","author":[{"given":"Jordan A.","family":"Levinson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Jordan A.
