Concerns arise that military practices may contribute to eating disorders amid broader health updates

The Morning Rounds newsletter, written by Theresa Gaffney, raises a question about whether military environments are encouraging eating disorders. The piece is part of a daily health briefing that covers a range of topics.

In addition to the eating‑disorder query, the newsletter provides a brief update on hantavirus and shares some encouraging news regarding mortality trends.

The article also notes that the NIH ended funding for a network of ten emerging‑infectious‑disease centers that had been created in 2020. Those cuts were part of broader reductions to Covid‑19 and pandemic‑preparedness work.

Researchers warn that the loss of those grants may have weakened long‑standing relationships with overseas experts, potentially hampering the response to the current Ebola outbreak in Central Africa.
