Using diet pills and laxatives for weight control linked to future diagnosis of an eating disorder
Over-the-counter diet pills are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which means using them does not not require a health care provider’s guidance or prescription.
A new study from University of Minnesota School of Public Health (SPH) researchers investigated how likely people using diet pills and laxatives are to be diagnosed with an eating disorder in the future. The study results showing their risk of being diagnosed increased significantly were recently published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders.
When COVID-19 was spreading across Italy in February 2020, all eyes at David Grant U.S. Air Force Medical Center at Travis Air Force Base, California were fixated on the unfolding pandemic, realizing their hospital may potentially be one of the first to be impacted.
Air Force Lt. Col. Laurie Migliore, acting director, Clinical Investigation Facility and director of Biobehavioral Research, along with essential medical personnel were charged with reviewing Grant s Crisis Standards of Care, particularly the availability of palliative care for potential COVID-19 patients.
Migliore said it became evident from seeing the death rates in Italy that DGMC may be impacted with unprecedented numbers of critically ill and potentially dying patients. They had to be ready to provide both medical and palliative care.
