Abstract
Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) does not exclusively occur in childhood, although most literature to date relates to this age group. Data supporting the subcategorization of ARFID are emerging; a transdiagnostic approach to restrictive eating disorders (EDs) based on neurobiological commonalities also has merit. Prevalence data suggest ARFID is more common than EDs in middle childhood, but not all reach clinical care. Research on pica and rumination disorder, which are also relatively common in the population, is limited. Childhood-onset anorexia nervosa (AN) is emerging as distinct from adolescent-onset AN in risk and outcome.
