Document: OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to describe the experience of, and factors associated with, disordered eating in a populationâ€based sample of emerging adults during the COVIDâ€19 outbreak. METHOD: Participants in the EAT 2010–2018 (Eating and Activity over Time) study were invited to complete the Câ€EAT (COVIDâ€19 EAT) survey in April–May 2020. There were 720 respondents to the survey (age: 24.7 ± 2.0 years). Psychological distress, stress, stress management, financial difficulties, and food insecurity during the COVIDâ€19 pandemic were examined as crossâ€sectional correlates of disordered eating in 2020. Openâ€ended questions assessed the perceived impact of the pandemic on eating behaviors. RESULTS: Low stress management was significantly associated with a higher count of extreme unhealthy weight control behaviors (UWCBs). Food insecurity, higher depressive symptoms, and financial difficulties were significantly associated with a higher count of less extreme UWCBs. Higher stress and depressive symptoms were significantly associated with greater odds of binge eating. Six themes pertaining to disordered eating during the pandemic emerged: (a) mindless eating and snacking; (b) increased food consumption; (c) generalized decrease in appetite or dietary intake; (d) eating to cope; (e) pandemicâ€related reductions in dietary intake; and (f) reâ€emergence or marked increase in eating disorder symptoms. DISCUSSION: Psychological distress, stress management, financial difficulties, and abrupt schedule changes may have contributed to disordered eating during the COVIDâ€19 pandemic. Interventions that target stress management, depressive symptoms, and financial strain and provide tools to develop a routine may be particularly effective for emerging adults at risk of developing disordered eating during public health crises.
