Sammanfattning
Background: For too long we have been "stuck" in old perspectives that have hampered the
advance of knowledge. In part, this is related to the challenges that people have in unlearning
misinformation. Aim: To address the need for an upgrade in the eating disorders field. Method: To
assist with replacing outdated and inaccurate ideas with new data, this lecture reviewed novel
approaches to eating disorders that engage scientists and clinicians from diverse fields to approach
questions about aetiology and treatment of eating disorders through new lenses. This forward-looking
lecture outlined critical questions that need to be addressed to move the field forward and strategies
for engaging scientists from different fields. Results: Leading-edge findings on genetics, intestinal
microbiota, and neuroscience are reviewed. Conclusions: This review encourages the integration of
new evidence-based knowledge to form the backbone of our understanding of and approach to eating
disorders.
