A broad array of important and diverse studies surrounding the treatment of eating disorders were published in in 2024. Anorexia nervosa is the most lethal and arguably the most well-studied eating disorder, yet treatment outcomes have been slow to advance. Herein, we review advances to both measuring AN symptom severity specifiers, identifying key treatment targets, and overview treatment advances. With regards to binge spectrum eating disorders, we review how purging and non-purging compensatory behaviors impact illness severity, and carefully review evidence relating to treatment outcomes. In this review, we also review novel treatment developments including yoga-based and ayahuasca-based interventions, as well as novel treatments for augmenting weight restoration in restrictive eating disorders. Additionally, we review evidence relating to eating disorder comorbidities, elucidating the impact on illness severity and treatment outcomes, and evidence addressing access to care for specialized eating disorder treatment, and lastly, how non-outpatient levels of eating disorder care may augment outcomes. Overall, the articles published in Eating Disorders: The Journal of Treatment & Prevention in 2024 evidence the promise of treatment advances in the field and requires further work to address the development of efficacious treatments to achieve greater outcomes for those with eating disorders.

Objective: It is important to raise awareness of the nutritional problems that can be overlooked during the follow-up visits with children who suffer from neuromuscular diseases, as these dietary differences may lead to additional neurological and systemic problems and impair the quality of life of the patient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional status of children with neuromuscular disorders and to prevent possible complications by recognizing possible nutritional problems in advance.
Methods: Patients who applied to the outpatient clinic at Cukurova University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pediatric Neurology beginning in April 2022 with a neuromuscular disorder diagnosis were followed up with and were included in the study.

Background: The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) increases with aging, significantly contributing to the rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This study aimed to investigate over-time changes in the prevalence of MetS and its components among the elderly population of Iran.
Methods: We analyzed data from the 2016 and 2021 national STEPwise approach to non-communicable disease risk factor Surveillance (STEPS) for participants aged ≥65 who completed all three survey steps (questionnaire-based assessments, physical measurements, and laboratory tests) with no missing data on MetS components.

Yoga is associated with improvements in factors that protect against the development of eating disorders (EDs), such as mindfulness, self-compassion, and body appreciation. Additionally, yoga is associated with lower body dissatisfaction (BD) and disordered eating. However, research on how yoga reduces BD and ED symptoms is limited.
