AI-generated Abstract
The Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative (EDGI) United Kingdom aims to deepen understanding of the environmental and genetic etiologies of eating disorders, which affect a significant portion of the population, predominantly young females. Launched in February 2020, this initiative seeks to build a diverse cohort to enhance the validity of research findings and foster collaborations between researchers and participants with lived experiences. Ultimately, EDGI UK aspires to provide a comprehensive resource for future studies on eating disorders and contribute significantly to international genetics research.
