Abstract: EXECUTIVE SUMMARYResearch Question To what extent do trauma-induced stress system dysregulations contribute to eating pathology(both obesity and eating disorders) in Australian populations, and what evidence supportstrauma-informed interventions in clinical practice? Key Findings Current evidence suggests modest but significant associations between childhood trauma andeating pathology, with substantial methodological limitations requiring cautious interpretation.While trauma-informed care shows promise, insufficient evidence exists for definitive causalclaims or wholesale treatment restructuring.Clinical ImplicationsTrauma screening and trauma-informed care principles should be integrated into eatingdisorder and obesity treatment, while acknowledging significant evidence gaps and avoidingoverinterpretation of current research.
