Abstract
:

Age of eating disorder (ED) onset has been of significant interest to both researchers and clinicians. The identification of factors associated with early or child onset has important prevention and treatment implications. The presence of prior trauma, resultant posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), ED severity, and comorbid psychopathology are of particular relevance to age of ED onset, but data are limited.
