Resumen

INTRODUCTION Eating disorders are considered mental health disease present in boys, girls, women, and men that affect different ages. They are related to different risk factors, such as inadequate family dynamics and psychosocial development, which could impact educational and social processes. As well as increasing morbidity, mortality in early ages. OBJECTIVE Identify the prevalence, incidence, and mortality of atypical and anorexia Nervous, bulimia Nervous and atypical for 2009-2019. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched in the Colombian health benefits information system database (RIPS). The cube database was downloaded into the Excel program through the SQL server data. The ecological study, prevalence's cross-sectional study. RESULTS A higher number of deaths was evidenced for the diagnosis of Anorexia Nervous, followed by Bulimia Nervous, a lower number of deaths in Atypical Anorexia. The female sex is the one with the highest prevalence and incidence of E.D., being the diagnosis of Anorexia Nervous and Bulimia Nervous more frequent compared to the atypical versions, more frequently in the prepubertal stage, adolescents and young adults. In Colombia, the departments with the main metropolitan cities have a higher prevalence than the departments with the largest rural areas. CONCLUSIONS Eating disorders should be considered a public health problem, taking into account their early development and chronicity. Increasing the probability of early death in children and adolescents and complications in adulthood and older adults. Its early detection can reduce the duration of the diseases and ensure adequate treatment, and favoring resolution. Eating disorders (ED) represent a severe mental health problem in childhood, women, and men of different ages. They may be related to inadequate psychosocial development, low family dynamics, both at an early age and throughout life span, and are associated with morbidity, mortality, and deterioration in life quality. Anorexia Nervosa is one of the mental illnesses with the highest mortality rates among mental disorders (Goldstein, Dechant, & Beresein, 2008). Over time, eating disorders have been increasing in developed and developing countries, given by the pressure on physical appearance, fashion patterns, and stereotypes on body image defined by the society and media. It is a disease that can affect both women and men, where genetic, psychological, social, cultural, nutritional, hormonal, and neurochemical factors intervene (Ortiz Cuquejo, Aguiar, Samudio Domniguez, & Troche Hermosilla, 2017). Eating disorders most often develop in adolescence and young adults. Different studies show that anorexia nervosa, can have two peaks, one at age 14 and the other around 18. However, it is not the same for bulimia nervosa, with an age onset after 18 years, with the previous incidence being low to adolescence, the same for unspecified eating disorders (Volpe U, Tortorella A, Manchia M, Monteleone AM, and Albert U, Monteleone P., 2016) (Brandsma, 2018). As time has passed, incident cases have been found in both children and adults over 40 years of age. Eating disorders have been ignored in global health despite being recognized as a disabling disease with negative impacts on individuals and families. These diseases have been identified as responsible for both disability and mortality. In Colombia, different approaches have been made regarding the measurement of the prevalence of eating disorders. Still, there is not a great variety of studies that talk about the incidence and mortality from these diseases due to the resistance of patients to recognize the condition, which is why they are not always diagnosed, which is why the present study aims to identify the prevalence, incidence and mortality eating disorders in Colombia for the years 2009-2019.
