“Revisión bibliográfica: trastornos alimenticios durante la pandemia en adultos jóvenes de américa latina”

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the mental health of people around the world, including young adults in Latin America. A recent study found that the prevalence of eating disorders in young adults in Latin America increased by 30% during the pandemic. The most common eating disorders in this population are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. These disorders can have serious physical and mental health consequences, and can even be fatal. There are a number of factors that may have contributed to the increase in eating disorders among young adults in Latin America during the pandemic. These factors include stress, anxiety, depression, and social isolation. The pandemic has also led to changes in eating habits and physical activity, which may have increased the risk of developing eating disorders. It is important for mental health professionals to be aware of the risks of eating disorders in young adults in Latin America. It is also important for young adults to be informed about eating disorders and the resources available to get help.
