ALT A digital poster from EDIFY and the University of Nottingham. The title reads “Workstream 1 update.” The text explains that researchers are studying how young people with lived experience of eating disorders discuss ED content on TikTok. The study also explores how the platform’s algorithm may create "echo chambers" that expose vulnerable users to more ED content. The poster features illustrations of three young people using smartphones. The University of Nottingham logo is in the top right corner.

ALT This visual abstract describes key findings of a recent study conducted by researchers of the EDIFY team on the relationship between sleep and disordered eating. As part of this graphic, it is outlined that about one in four young people experience sleep problems. Furthermore, the graphic states that sleep and disordered eating can be linked through a variety of factors including disturbed mood. Based on information provided by more than 6,000 young people in the UK, we investigated if sleep and disordered eating are associated across time. Within our study, we found that sleep (as assessed at age 14) did not predict disordered eating at age 17. However, we found that disordered eating (as assessed at age 14) did predict poorer sleep quality at age 17 through depressive symptoms. We conclude that more research is needed to explore the relationship between sleep and different forms of disordered eating.
