Summary
This completed observational study from Karolinska Institutet looked at 312 children and teens with obesity who used a digital treatment tool called Evira at home. Researchers checked their medical records to see if any developed signs of disordered eating or were diagnosed with an eating disorder like anorexia or binge eating. The goal was to understand how often these problems appear during or after treatment.
