- Abstract
Trends in the incidence of new-onset anorexia nervosa and atypical anorexia nervosa among youth during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. The COVID-19 pandemic, and associated quarantine strategies, caused social isolation, economic burden, and unpredictability, augmenting the risk of mental health issues. The primary and secondary endpoints were to determine changes elicited by the COVID-19 pandemic in the percentage of underweight (BMI < 18.5) and overweight students (BMI 25) together with changes to their mean BMI, respectively.
