Sammanfattning
This review summarizes studies on eating disorders in pregnancy and the postpartum period
that have been conducted as part of the broader Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa).
Prior to the 2000s, empirical literature on eating disorders in pregnancy was sparse and consisted
mostly of studies in small clinical samples. MoBa has contributed to a new era of research by
making population-based and largesample research possible. To date, MoBa has led to 19 eating
disorder studies on diverse questions including the prevalence, course, and risk correlates of eating
disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum. The associations between eating disorder exposure
and pregnancy, birth and obstetric outcomes, and maternal and offspring health and well-being, have
also been areas of focus. The findings indicate that eating disorders in pregnancy are relatively
common and appear to confer health risks to mother and her child related to sleep, birth outcomes,
maternal nutrition, and child feeding and eating.
