Abstract

![CDATA[Obesity and eating disorders are often studied and treated separately. However, examination of the comorbid occurrence of these two public health concerns is important because eating disorder behaviours are known to contribute to obesity onset and maintenance, and vice-versa. There were increases in South Australia during the 20 years from 1995 to 2015 in the independent prevalence of obesity, binge eating, and very strict dieting/fasting, as well as that of obesity with comorbid binge eating, and obesity with comorbid very strict dieting/fasting.]]
