Pica, the eating of non-food substances, is an eating disorder we know very little about. So this Eating Disorder Awareness Week I thought I would share research I did with @nataliep310.bsky.social and on Pica prevalence pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38097525/

Prevalence and recurrence of pica behaviors in early childhood within the ALSPAC birth cohort - PubMed

This study enhances understanding of childhood pica behaviors, addressing a significant gap in knowledge. Pica occurrence in the general population is poorly understood due to few epidemiological stud...

This week is #EatingDisorderAwarenessWeek My research focuses on Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), which despite affecting 1-2% of children has been understudied and has low public awareness. Read more about my research plans here: www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/your-stories...

A Major Step Forward for ARFID Research: New Funding for Cardiff University - Beat

Despite being recognised as a serious condition, research into ARFID has been limited. This lack of understanding has left many without support.
