Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Despite a significant rise of reported eating disorders all over the world, data from Kazakhstan is obscured by lack of recognition of these conditions as serious health issue that have severe lifelong consequences. The attention to these conditions is long overdue and requires concentrated efforts from public, academia, and public health.
