Systematic Review on Eating and Gastrointestinal Disorder Associations, 2015-2025

Ali Saud Alsaud's systematic review synthesizes evidence from nine studies published between 2016 and 2025 on the association between eating disorders (EDs) and functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). The review, following PRISMA guidelines, narratively reports findings on co-occurrence prevalence, bidirectionality, and shared psychological mechanisms. The document is a 15.4 KB file last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Literature synthesis on ED-FGID co-occurrence patterns based on the reviewed studies from 2016-2025.
• Analysis of shared psychological mechanisms like anxiety and depression mentioned in the description.
• Informing clinical screening protocols for eating disorders in patients with FGIDs based on the review's conclusions.

Strengths

• Includes nine studies appraised using National Institutes of Health quality standards.
• Focuses on a defined 2015-2025 publication timeframe for evidence synthesis.
• Explicitly reports on the bidirectional relationship between disordered eating and GI symptoms.

Limitations

• The dataset is a single 15.4 KB document, indicating a very limited scope.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; data structure must be inferred from the text.
• The narrative synthesis method, as described, may lack the quantitative rigor of a meta-analysis.
