The number of hospitalizations due to eating disorders among people ages 12-18.
Anorexia nervosa and bulimia are major health concerns. Both disorders appear to be increasing in prevalence, and both (particularly anorexia nervosa) are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Monitoring hospitalization due eating disorders helps identify trends and needs for mental health services.
In 2022, the rate per 100,000 of Hospitalizations From or With Eating Disorders as Any Listed Diagnosis (Aged 12-18 Years) in Alachua County was 156.9 compared to Florida at 71.8. The line graph shows change over time when there are at least three years of data.
Alachua County is in the fourth quartile for this measure. This means that relative to other counties in Florida, there are less Hospitalizations From or With Eating Disorders as Any Listed Diagnosis (Aged 12-18 Years) in about three quarters of the counties.
The map illustrates county data by quartile. A quartile map is presented when there are at least 51 counties with data for this measure.

ICD-9-CM Code(s): 307.50-307.5 as any listed diagnosis. ICD-10-CM Code(s): F20 as any listed diagnosis.
Chart will display if there are at least three years of data.
Multi-year counts are a sum of the selected years, not an average.
Quartiles are calculated when data is available for at least 51 counties.
MOV - Measure of Variability: Probable range of values resulting from random fluctuations in the number of events. Not calculated when numerator is below 5 or denominator is below 20, or count or rate is suppressed. The MOV is useful for comparing rates to a goal or standard. For example, if the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is less than the MOV, the county rate is not significantly different from the statewide rate (alpha level = 0.05). When the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is greater than the MOV, the county rate is significantly different from the statewide rate. MOV should not be used to determine if the rates of two different counties, or the county rates for two different years, are statistically significantly different.
Denom - abbreviated for Denominator.
Population estimates are not available for persons whose county of residence is unknown. Given this, the denominator and associated rate are not available.
* - Indicates the county rate is statistically significantly different from the statewide rate.
