Following the publication of the original article, the authors reported that there was a typo in the title of the article. The year 2022 was erroneously written as 202.

The correct title should be: “Prevalence of disordered eating and eating disorders among Norwegian university students before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, 2018 and 2022: The SHoT study.”

Further, there was a typo in the method section, page 6 line 155 and line 160:

The likert-scale should be 1–7, not 0–7.

The correct text should be: “The EDS-5 focuses on associated ED behavioural characteristics during the last month, scored on a Likert-scale from 1 to 7 (7 as most severe) (46) : “Are you satisfied with your eating habits?”, “have you eaten to comfort yourself because you were unhappy?”, “have you felt guilty about eating?”, “have you felt that it was necessary for you to use a strict diet or other eating rituals to control your eating?”, and lastly, “have you felt you are too fat?”. The responses were then dichotomized into 0 (scores 1 through 5) and 1 (scores 6 or 7) for our statistical analyses, to align with the operalization of variables used in other SHoT-studies (45).”

The original article has been updated accordingly.
