Lobo I, da Luz FQ, Hay P, Gaeta TL, Teixeira PC, Cordás TA, Sainsbury A, Salis Z. Is binge eating associated with poor weight loss outcomes in people with a high body weight? A systematic review with meta-analyses. Eat Weight Disord 2023; 28:89. [PMID: 37889364 PMCID: PMC10611631 DOI: 10.1007/s40519-023-01613-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This systematic review aimed to compare the weight change in people with or without binge eating who underwent various weight loss treatments. METHODS We searched for studies in PubMed, American Psychological Association, and Embase from inception to January 2022. The studies selected included assessment of binge eating and body weight before and after weight loss treatment in people of any age. The meta-analyses were conducted using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA). We used Egger's regression test, the funnel plot, and the Trim and Fill test to assess the risk of publication bias. RESULTS Thirty-four studies were included in the systematic review, with a total of 10.184 participants. The included studies were divided into three categories according to types of weight loss treatments, namely, (1) bariatric surgery; (2) pharmacotherapy isolated or combined with behavioral interventions; and (3) behavioral and/or nutritional interventions. The meta-analyses showed no significant difference in weight loss between people with or without binge eating engaged in weight loss treatments, with an overall effect size of - 0.117 (95% CI - 0.405 to 0.171; P = 0.426). CONCLUSIONS Our findings showed no difference in weight loss in people with or without pre-treatment binge eating who received various weight loss treatments. Weight loss treatments should not be withheld on the basis that they will not be effective in people with pre-treatment binge eating, albeit their safety and longer term impacts are unclear. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level I, at least one properly designed randomized controlled trials; systematic reviews and meta-analyses; experimental studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Behavioral features of binge eating disorder (BED) suggest abnormalities in reward and inhibitory control. Studies of adult populations suggest functional abnormalities in reward and inhibitory control networks. Despite behavioral markers often developing in children, the neurobiology of pediatric BED remains unstudied. METHODS 58 pre-adolescent children (aged 9-10-years) with BED (mBMI = 25.05; s.d. = 5.40) and 66 age, BMI and developmentally matched control children (mBMI = 25.78; s.d. = 0.33) were extracted from the 3.0 baseline (Year 0) release of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. We investigated group differences in resting-state functional MRI functional connectivity (FC) within and between reward and inhibitory control networks. A seed-based approach was employed to assess nodes in the reward [orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), nucleus accumbens, amygdala] and inhibitory control [dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)] networks via hypothesis-driven seed-to-seed analyses, and secondary seed-to-voxel analyses. RESULTS Findings revealed reduced FC between the dlPFC and amygdala, and between the ACC and OFC in pre-adolescent children with BED, relative to controls. These findings indicating aberrant connectivity between nodes of inhibitory control and reward networks were corroborated by the whole-brain FC analyses. CONCLUSIONS Early-onset BED may be characterized by diffuse abnormalities in the functional synergy between reward and cognitive control networks, without perturbations within reward and inhibitory control networks, respectively. The decreased capacity to regulate a reward-driven pursuit of hedonic foods, which is characteristic of BED, may in part, rest on this dysconnectivity between reward and inhibitory control networks.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This 2023 update of the WFSBP guidelines for the pharmacological treatment of eating disorders (EDs) reflects the latest diagnostic and psychopharmacological progress and the improved WFSBP recommendations for the assessment of the level of evidence (LoE) and the grade of recommendation (GoR). METHODS The WFSBP Task Force EDs reviewed the relevant literature and provided a timely grading of the LoE and the GoR. RESULTS In anorexia nervosa (AN), only a limited recommendation (LoE: A; GoR: 2) for olanzapine can be given, because the available evidence is restricted to weight gain, and its effect on psychopathology is less clear. In bulimia nervosa (BN), the current literature prompts a recommendation for fluoxetine (LoE: A; GoR: 1) or topiramate (LoE: A; GoR: 1). In binge-eating disorder (BED), lisdexamfetamine (LDX; LoE: A; GoR: 1) or topiramate (LoE: A; GoR: 1) can be recommended. There is only sparse evidence for the drug treatment of avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), pica, and rumination disorder (RD). CONCLUSION In BN, fluoxetine, and topiramate, and in BED, LDX and topiramate can be recommended. Despite the published evidence, olanzapine and topiramate have not received marketing authorisation for use in EDs from any medicine regulatory agency.

Gestational weight gain outside the 2009 Institute of Medicine recommendations: novel psychological and behavioural factors associated with inadequate or excess weight gain in a prospective cohort study. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth 2021; 21:70. [PMID: 33478410 PMCID: PMC7818557 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-021-03555-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2020] [Accepted: 01/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have noted traditional physical, demographic, and obstetrical predictors of inadequate or excess gestational weight gain, but the roles of psychological and behavioral factors are not well established. Few interventions targeting traditional factors of gestational weight gain have been successful, necessitating exploration of new domains. The objective of this study was to identify novel psychological and behavioral factors, along with physical, demographic, and obstetrical factors, associated with gestational weight gain that is discordant with the 2009 Institute of Medicine guidelines (inadequate or excess gain). METHODS We recruited English-speaking women with a live singleton fetus at 8 to 20 weeks of gestation who received antenatal care from 12 obstetrical, family medicine, and midwifery clinics. A questionnaire was used to collect information related to demographic, physical, obstetrical, psychological, and behavioural factors anticipated to be related to weight gain. The association between these factors and total gestational weight gain, classified as inadequate, appropriate, and excess, was examined using stepwise multinomial logistic regression. RESULTS Our study population comprised 970 women whose baseline data were obtained at a mean of 14.8 weeks of gestation ±3.4 weeks (standard deviation). Inadequate gestational weight gain was associated with obesity, planned gestational weight gain (below the guidelines or not reported), anxiety, and eating sensibly when with others but overeating when alone, while protective factors were frequent pregnancy-related food cravings and preferring an overweight or obese body size image. Excess gestational weight gain was associated with pre-pregnancy overweight or obese body mass index, planned gestational weight gain (above guidelines), frequent eating in front of a screen, and eating sensibly when with others but overeating when alone, while a protective factor was being underweight pre-pregnancy. CONCLUSIONS In addition to commonly studied predictors, this study identified psychological and behavioral factors associated with inadequate or excess gestational weight gain. Factors common to both inadequate and excessive gestational weight gain were also identified, emphasizing the multidimensional nature of the contributors to guideline-discordant weight gain.

Abstract
Binge eating (BE; i.e., the consumption of a large amount of food in a discrete time period, accompanied by a sense of loss of control) is highly comorbid with overweight or obesity and is the primary symptom of binge eating disorder (BED). Current gold-standard treatment for BED (i.e., CBT) does not produce meaningful weight loss, thus failing to address a critical treatment target. This article describes the development of a novel acceptance-based behavioral treatment (ABBT) for individuals with clinically significant BE desiring to reduce BE symptoms and achieve concurrent weight loss. We discuss the development and structure of the novel treatment approach, and describe the test of a proof of concept version of the treatment in a clinical case series of four individuals. In the context of each clinical case description, we present initial acceptability of the treatment and challenges faced in treatment development and delivery. Finally, we discuss future research directions for the treatment, which could improve BE symptoms and weight loss outcomes for individuals with BE pathology.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to determine the role of avoidance‐based coping in the psychosocial functioning of weight loss treatment‐seeking persons with obesity who report high internal disinhibition. Methods Participants were 162 overweight or obese adults entering a behavioural weight loss intervention programme who reported high internal disinhibition at screening. We conducted multivariate regression analyses by using mental and physical quality of life and satisfaction with relationships as dependent variables and examining the association of demographic variables, experiential avoidance (avoidance‐based coping) and symptoms of depression. We hypothesized that higher levels of experiential avoidance and symptoms of depression would be associated with poorer mental and physical quality of life and relationship satisfaction. Post‐hoc analyses examined results relative to non‐obese norms. Results Both experiential avoidance and depression were significantly and independently associated with each of the three psychosocial outcome measures. Individuals who were high on both experiential avoidance and depression scored significantly below the population mean for non‐clinical samples on mental and physical quality of life and relationship satisfaction. Conclusion In a sample of weight loss treatment‐seeking adults with high internal disinhibition, elevated levels of experiential avoidance and psychological symptoms are prevalent. Adding intervention components specifically designed to address unhealthy coping could results in improvements in overall psychosocial functioning and possibly weight loss.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to examine the cognitive, emotional and behavioral differences between obese and normal weight women. METHODS The participants consisted of 60 obese women (BMI ≥ 35, Mean age 35.83) who were candidates for bariatric surgery and 60 normal weight women (BMI ≤ 24.90, Mean age 33.38) who were selected through convenient sampling method. The two groups were matched with respect to age and education. Measures included the Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and the Binge Eating Scale. Independent sample t test and Mann-Whitney U tests were conducted to compare the two groups' scores on early maladaptive schemas, DER and binge eating. RESULTS Results indicated that obese women candidate for bariatric surgery scored significantly higher on emotional deprivation, mistrust, failure, dependency, enmeshment, self-sacrifice, especially abandonment, social isolation, vulnerability, self-control and subjugation schemas, but not on shame, entitlement, emotional inhibition and unrelenting standards. Obese women also displayed higher scores on three subscales of DERS, i.e., goal, impulse and strategies. BE scores were significantly higher in obese women than normal weight ones. CONCLUSION The findings showed that obese women candidates for bariatric surgery suffered from more cognitive, emotional and behavioral vulnerability compared to women with normal weight. Addressing these vulnerabilities among obese women could improve outcomes of weight loss surgeries and cognitive behavioral interventions so that weight regain is minimized and better outcomes are achieved.

Abstract
AbstractObjectiveConflicting data are available on the prevalence of binge eating behaviour (BE) in individuals seeking to lose or maintain weight. The present study aimed to estimate the prevalence of and the risk factors for BE in a large sample of men and women starting a weight loss or maintenance programme.DesignCross-sectional study. BE was defined as a Binge Eating Scale (BES) score ≥18. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Italian Depression Questionnaire were used to assess anxiety and depression. Besides sex, age and BMI, marital status, educational level, smoking and physical activity were evaluated as potential risk factors for BE. Uni- and multivariable Poisson working regression models were used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR) and marginal probabilities.SettingNutritional research centre.SubjectsAdults (n 6930; 72 % women) with a median age of 46 years (range 18–81 years) were consecutively studied.ResultsBE prevalence in the pooled sample was 17 %. At multivariable analysis, being a woman (PR=2·70), smoking (PR=1·15) and increasing BMI (PR=1·05 for 1 kg/m2 increase) were risk factors for BE. On the contrary, being older (PR=0·99 for 1-year increase), performing physical activity (PR=0·89) and being married (PR=0·88) were protective factors for BE. Anxiety and depression were more common in subjects with BE.ConclusionsBE is common in individuals seeking to lose or maintain weight. The prevalence of BE is higher in young obese women. However, BE is present also in men, elders and normal-weight subjects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between binge eating behavior and weight loss maintenance over a two-year period in adults. DESIGN Secondary data analysis using the Keep It Off study, a randomized trial evaluating an intervention to promote weight loss maintenance. PARTICIPANTS 419 men and women (ages: 20 to 70 y; BMI: 20-44 kg/m2) who had intentionally lost ≥10% of their weight during the previous year. MEASUREMENTS Body weight was measured and binge eating behavior over the past 6 months was reported at baseline, 12 months and 24 months. Height was measured at baseline. RESULTS Prevalence of binge eating at baseline was 19.4% (n = 76). Prevalence of binge eating at any time point was 30.1% (n = 126). Although rate of weight regain did not differ significantly between those who did or did not report binge eating at baseline, binge eating behavior across the study period (additive value of presence or absence at each time point) was significantly associated with different rates of weight regain. CONCLUSION Tailoring weight loss maintenance interventions to address binge eating behavior is warranted given the prevalence and the different rates of weight regain experienced by those reporting this behavior.

Abstract
To determine the effects of binge eating disorder (BED) on weight loss and maintenance in women undergoing treatment for obesity, we studied the weight changes of 38 women (body mass index > 30 kg/m2), 21 of whom met proposed criteria for BED and 17 of whom reported few problems with binge eating, during and after a 26-week comprehensive very-low-calorie diet (VLCD) treatment program. All 17 subjects without and 16/21 subjects with BED returned for four follow-up visits over 12 months (p = 0.05). While a similar proportion of subjects with and without BED reported absolute adherence to both the modified fast and refeeding, those with BED showed a significantly different distribution in energy intake from those without BED, with fewer small and more large lapses among those who deviated from the diet (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in mean weight loss over the 26 weeks of treatment, but subjects with BED showed significantly diminished weight loss during the middle third of treatment (p < 0.05). Black subjects, regardless of the presence of BED, lost significantly less weight during treatment than white subjects (p < 0.005). Although there was no significant difference in mean weight loss at any of the four follow-up visits between subjects with and without BED, 25% of subjects with BED had regained > 50% of their lost weight by three-month follow-up, vs. no subjects without the disorder (p < 0.05). One year after completing treatment, approximately half of BED (+) and BED (-) subjects had a good outcome, maintaining a weight loss > or = 10% of initial body weight. However, 35% of subjects with BED, and none of the subjects without BED, had a poor outcome (p < 0.05). We conclude that many individuals with BED will respond well to a medically supervised comprehensive VLCD program, attaining medically significant weight loss. However, this subgroup appears to be at risk for early major regain of lost weight and for poor outcome one year following weight-loss treatment.

Abstract
Binge eating disorder (BED) is a newly characterized eating disorder that encompasses individuals who have severe distress and dysfunction due to binge eating, but who do not regularly engage in inappropriate compensatory behaviors. While relatively uncommon in the general community, BED becomes more prevalent with increasing severity of obesity. BED is associated with early onset of obesity, frequent weight cycling, body shape disparagement, and psychiatric disorders. These associations occur independent of the degree of obesity. Although many individuals with BED have good short-term weight loss regardless of treatment modality, as a group they may be prone to greater attrition during weight-loss treatment and more rapid regain of lost weight. Current treatments geared toward binge eating behaviors include antidepressant medications, cognitive behavioral psychotherapy, and interpersonal psychotherapy; however, these treatments have little efficacy in promoting weight loss, and only modest success in long-term reduction of binge eating. As a significant proportion of obese individuals entering weight-loss treatment and research programs are likely to meet criteria for BED, those conducting clinical research should be aware of this distinct subgroup and determine the contribution of BED to outcome measures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We assessed the impact of reducing the binge eating frequency and duration thresholds on the diagnostic criteria for bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED). METHOD We estimated the lifetime population prevalence of BN and BED in 13,295 female twins from the Swedish Twin study of Adults: Genes and Environment employing a range of frequency and duration thresholds. External validation (risk to cotwin) was used to investigate empirical evidence for an optimal binge eating frequency threshold. RESULTS The lifetime prevalence estimates of BN and BED increased linearly as the frequency criterion decreased. As the required duration increased, the prevalence of BED decreased slightly. Discontinuity in cotwin risk was observed in BN between at least four times per month and at least five times per month. This model could not be fit for BED. DISCUSSION The proposed changes to the DSM-5 binge eating frequency and duration criteria would allow for better detection of binge eating pathology without resulting in a markedly higher lifetime prevalence of BN or BED.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The treatment of eating disorders is a complex process that relies not only on the use of psychotropic drugs but should include also nutritional counselling, psychotherapy and the treatment of the medical complications, where they are present. In this review recommendations for the pharmacological treatment of eating disorders (anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED)) are presented, based on the available literature. METHODS The guidelines for the pharmacological treatment of eating disorders are based on studies published between 1977 and 2010. A search of the literature included: anorexia nervosa bulimia nervosa, eating disorder and binge eating disorder. Many compounds have been studied in the therapy of eating disorders (AN: antidepressants (TCA, SSRIs), antipsychotics, antihistaminics, prokinetic agents, zinc, Lithium, naltrexone, human growth hormone, cannabis, clonidine and tube feeding; BN: antidepressants (TCA, SSRIs, RIMA, NRI, other AD), antiepileptics, odansetron, d-fenfluramine Lithium, naltrexone, methylphenidate and light therapy; BED: antidepressants (TCA, SSRIs, SNRIs, NRI), antiepileptics, baclofen, orlistat, d-fenfluramine, naltrexone). RESULTS In AN 20 randomized controlled trials (RCT) could be identified. For zinc supplementation there is a grade B evidence for AN. For olanzapine there is a category grade B evidence for weight gain. For the other atypical antipsychotics there is grade C evidence. In BN 36 RCT could be identified. For tricyclic antidepressants a grade A evidence exists with a moderate-risk-benefit ratio. For fluoxetine a category grade A evidence exists with a good risk-benefit ratio. For topiramate a grade 2 recommendation can be made. In BED 26 RCT could be identified. For the SSRI sertraline and the antiepileptic topiramate a grade A evidence exists, with different recommendation grades. CONCLUSIONS Additional research is needed for the improvement of the treatment of eating disorders. Especially for anorexia nervosa there is a need for further pharmacological treatment strategies.

Abstract
Two thirds of the adults in the United States are overweight or obese. Binge eating is a barrier to treatment adherence and sustained weight loss, and can be seen as a form of experiential avoidance. The current study analyzed the impact of binge eating on weight reduction in a previously published study of a 1-day acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) workshop ( N = 83) and the psychological processes accounting for the binge-eating results. ACT participants reported less binge eating, which in turn significantly mediated changes in weight. Mediation analyses also showed that reductions in binge eating were mediated by changes in experiential avoidance. The study suggests that ACT and its targeted processes of change may be particularly relevant to binge eating, and that targeting binging is a possible pathway for improving weight management.

Abstract
Previous research has yielded evidence of attentional biases for food-related cues in binge eating disorder (BED) using behavioural measures such as the Stroop and dot probe paradigm. Being a more direct measure of attentional processing, the present study used event related potentials (ERPs) to test reactivity to high caloric and low caloric food pictures in women with BED compared to overweight healthy female controls (HC). In order to detect a possible motivational ambivalence, self-report and psychophysiological measures of the sympathetic and parasympathetic response system were assessed additionally. The main results yielded evidence that in women with BED high caloric food pictures elicit larger long latency ERPs compared to HC. By contrast, no such group difference was found for low caloric food pictures. Peripheral measures did not yield any group differences with respect to the processing of the caloric value of food. The results suggest that for women with BED, high caloric food may have high motivational properties and consume large parts of attentional resources. In the context of an environment in which high caloric food is omnipresent, such an abnormal processing may be relevant for the maintenance of the disorder.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The underlying neurobiological mechanisms that account for the onset and maintenance of binge-eating disorder (BED) are not sufficiently understood. This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study explored the neural correlates of visually induced food reward and loathing. METHOD Sixty-seven female participants assigned to one of four groups (overweight BED patients, overweight healthy control subjects, normal-weight healthy control subjects, and normal-weight patients with bulimia nervosa) participated in the experiment. After an overnight fast, the participants' brain activation was recorded during each of the following three conditions: visual exposure to high-caloric food, to disgust-inducing pictures, and to affectively neutral pictures. After the fMRI experiment, the participants rated the affective value of the pictures. RESULTS Each of the groups experienced the food pictures as very pleasant. Relative to the neutral pictures, the visual food stimuli provoked increased activation in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and insula across all participants. The BED patients reported enhanced reward sensitivity and showed stronger medial OFC responses while viewing food pictures than all other groups. The bulimic patients displayed greater arousal, ACC activation, and insula activation than the other groups. Neural responses to the disgust-inducing pictures as well as trait disgust did not differ between the groups. CONCLUSIONS This study provides first evidence of differential brain activation to visual food stimuli in patients suffering from BED and bulimia nervosa.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to verify the applicability of the dual-pathway model among weight-preoccupied overweight women and to document the restraint pathway, the negative affect pathway, and the possibility of a direct pathway from body dissatisfaction to overeating. METHOD Structural equations were performed to test the model on baseline data of 153 weight-preoccupied overweight women recruited to participate in a randomized trial. RESULTS Findings suggest that the model obtains satisfactory fit. Although the restraint pathway is partially supported, the negative affect pathway is confirmed. A third pathway linking directly body dissatisfaction to overeating is also evidenced. DISCUSSION The dual-pathway model of overeating seems to be representative of the reality of weight-preoccupied overweight women, which could be pointed as a population in need of clinical attention, particularly considering the dramatically increasing rates of obesity.

Abstract
The worldwide increase in obesity prevalence is a result of positive energy balance, with energy intake exceeding expenditure. The eating behavior in obesity ranges from mild passive overconsumption to excessive overeating with loss of control observed in binge eating disorder (BED). The signaling systems that underlie appetite control in BED are complex and, at this point, not well understood. The present review highlights the current knowledge of key components of the gut peptide system and examines evidence of defects in signaling that differentiate obese binge eaters from obese non-binge eaters. The signaling network underlying hunger, satiety, and metabolic status includes leptin and insulin from energy stores and cholecystokinin, glucagon-like peptide-1, peptide YY(3-36), and ghrelin from the gastrointestinal tract. Of the many gastrointestinal peptides, ghrelin is the only established appetite-stimulating one, whereas cholecystokinin, glucagon-like peptide-1, and peptide YY(3-36) promote satiety. Adipose tissue provides hormonal signals via leptin and insulin to the brain about energy stores and likely from adiponectin and resistin. Binge eating has been related to a dysfunction in the ghrelin signaling system. Moreover, the larger gastric capacity observed in BED may further reduce satiety signals and contribute to overeating.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate the Eating and Appraisal Due to Emotions and Stress (EADES) Questionnaire that was created to measure how one uses food to cope with stress and emotions. DESIGN Data were collected from a cross-sectional study using the EADES Questionnaire. SUBJECTS/SETTING Convenience sample (response rate 22%) from a southeastern public university, including staff and faculty (n=854) with ages ranging from 18 to 83 years and a mean body mass index of 27.3+/-6.4. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS PERFORMED Exploratory factor analysis was completed on 54 items that were originally meant to describe constructs from the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping. Reliability of scales was estimated using Cronbach's alpha. Total sum scores were given to each factor. Pearson correlation coefficients assessed linear associations between factors. RESULTS Three factors accounting for 43.5% of the variance were retained with a total Cronbach's alpha=.949. The factors did not represent the theoretical constructs from the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping as anticipated. A new model was created, including Emotion- and Stress-Related Eating, Appraisal of Resources and Ability to Cope, Appraisal of Outside Stressors and Influences with Cronbach's alpha being .949, .869, and .652, respectively. These factors were significantly correlated with one another. CONCLUSIONS The EADES model provides a viable conceptual model to help explain variables that may contribute to overeating, whereas the EADES Questionnaire provides a measurement tool for evaluating these variables that have not traditionally been explored in weight management efforts.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung. Theoretischer Hintergrund: Die Rolle der Affektregulation bei der Aufrechterhaltung bulimischer Essanfälle und kompensatorischer Verhaltensweisen ist geprägt durch ein heterogenes Forschungsfeld. Der Vergleich dieser affektregulatorischer Funktionen zwischen bulimischen Patientinnen und Patientinnen mit einer Binge Eating Disorder (BED) fehlt weitgehend. Fragestellung: Die Studie untersucht die Frage, ob ein Essanfall zu einer Zunahme negativer Affekte führt, und ob diese Zunahme durch das Abführen wieder reduziert wird. Zusätzlich wird untersucht, inwieweit die Zunahme der negativen Affekte für die bulimischen Patienten spezifisch ist. Methode: Die differentielle Affektskala wird in einem problemanalytischen Explorationssetting zu Essanfällen und Episoden des Erbrechens bei 27 stationär behandelten bulimischen Patientinnen und 21 Patientinnen mit BED eingesetzt. Ergebnisse: Die bulimischen Patientinnen berichten im Vergleich zu den BED Patientinnen nach einem Essanfall eine Zunahme von Scham, Schuld, Ekel und Verachtung bei gleichzeitiger Reduktion von Interesse. Die BED Patientinnen berichten nur einen Anstieg von Schuld. Für die bulimischen Patientinnen reduziert das Erbrechen die erlebte Angst und den Ekel und führt außerdem zu einer Zunahme an Freude.

Abstract
In this study we describe the frequency of eating disorders (EDs) in a group of bipolar (BP) patients. We evaluated a sample of 51 outpatients, diagnosed as having BP I disorder on the basis of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID). Each of these subjects was administered the Binge Eating Disorder Clinical Interview (BEDCI) to determine the presence of binge eating disorder (BED) or bulimia nervosa (BN). Of the 51 BP patients, 14 (9 BED, 5 BN) met criteria for an ED. Most patients developed binge eating coincident with the first episode of BP disorder or after the onset of it. This was true for those who developed BED as well as BN, and involved both manic and depressive phases. All BN patients were women (5/5), and family history of binge eating was present in 80% of BN subjects, but only in 22.2% of BED and 29.7% of non-ED BP patients. We found a high frequency of concordance between BP illness and binge eating problems in our sample of BP patients. Given the temporal sequence of the mood disorder, which generally preceded the ED, we suggest a model in which the ED evolves due to modulation of emotions with food, as well as use of medications to treat BP disorder that disrupt hunger and satiety mechanisms. Given differences in gender distribution and family history, cultural and familial influences may also be significant in the minority of BP binge-eating patients who develop BN.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether night eating syndrome was associated with treatment outcomes during a brief weight loss intervention for self-identified night snackers, and to evaluate the diagnostic utility of a screening question and the Night Eating Syndrome Questionnaire (NESQ) for the detection of night eating syndrome. Participants enrolled in a 4-week randomized clinical trial for obese and overweight persons who self-identified as night snackers were administered a structured clinical interview, a night eating screening question, and the NESQ. Treatment outcomes included adherence and weight loss. Results showed that night eating syndrome diagnoses were not associated with treatment outcomes. The screening question had adequate sensitivity but poor specificity. The night eating questionnaire was positively correlated with increasingly stringent definitions of night eating syndrome. Night eating syndrome is not the equivalent of night snacking. The definition of night eating syndrome must be expanded to include a sleep disturbance component accompanied by night eating.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore antecedents and sequelae of binge eating episodes. A sample of eating disorders (n = 154 women) was selected from a total of 1849 female respondents (out of 2500) recruited as part of a general population-based survey. Included participants met DSM-III-R criteria for anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN) or eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) based on the Survey for Eating Disorders (SEDs). Preliminary criteria for binge eating disorder (BED) were added. Results indicated that the most frequently reported antecedents and consequences of binge eating were emotional and physiological factors. There were significant differences between the different ED subgroups in their frequency of binge eating episodes. Regarding antecedents of a binge eating episode, the SEDs-defined ED subgroups had overall differences in frequency on "stomach feeling". In particular, the BN-group reported "euphoria" more frequently than the BED and EDNOS-groups. Concerning consequences of a binge eating episode, there were overall differences between the ED subgroups on "fall asleep", and in addition a borderline significance was found for "disturbed by others" (p = 0.059). None of the eight women in the AN group reported "euphoria" as a factor that terminated a binge eating episode. The findings may have important implications with regard to prevention and treatment of ED.

Abstract
Our aim was to review and compare findings from controlled trials and previous reviews concerning current drug treatment of patients suffering from bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED). Thus we selected published articles quoted over the last 10 years in the databases of Medline and Cochrane Library. The combination of pharmacological and psychological treatments is superior to the single psychotherapeutic approach, which in turn is superior to single drug treatment (just superior to placebo). Among drug treatments, SSRIs are the first line choice treatments, especially in primary care. They are more acceptable and tolerated by patients, moreover effective even if investigations on long-term outcomes are lacking. A number of patients, however, do not respond to these drugs. For them it is necessary to find new therapeutic strategies. Mood stabilizers are promising in this regard. In particular, topiramate seems to allow reduction of binge eating and weight in SSRI non-responder patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to present a review of the psychosocial outcome of bariatric surgery with special consideration of psychiatric comorbidity, psychopathology, psychosocial functioning, econometric data, and general quality of life (QoL). PURPOSE A review of all (non-) controlled trials of the last two decades both with a retrospective and prospective design and a follow-up period of at least 1 y. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES The relevant literature was identified by a search of computerized databases. All articles published in English and German since 1980 were reviewed. Based on the requirements of the evidenced-based guidelines of the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research and the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, each study was rated by a level of evidence. RESULTS In all, 171 publications were reviewed. Using the above inclusion/exclusion criteria, 63 articles including two systematic reviews were identified. A total of 40 studies focused on psychosocial outcome after obesity surgery. CONCLUSION Mental health and psychosocial status including social relations and employment opportunities improve for the majority of people after bariatric surgery thus leading to an improved QoL. Psychiatric comorbidity, predominantly affective disorders, and psychopathologic symptoms decrease postsurgically. A substantial percentage of bariatric surgery patients suffer from binge eating disorder or binge eating symptoms. The effect of bariatric surgery on the outcome of binge eating symptoms largely depends on the type of operation. With the exception of patients with a severe psychiatric comorbidity, the concern that obesity surgery will reinforce psychic symptoms and lead to a reduction in the QoL seems to be unfounded.

Abstract
We examined 77 obese patients treated with bariatric surgery in order to analyse treatment success, and compare those with a good or a poor outcome. The subjects, who were recruited one year after undergoing adjustable gastric banding, were asked questions concerning their sociodemographic status, postoperative course, past and present weight status, eating behaviours and difficulties in changing eating habits. Furthermore, we also used two body image questionnaires, and considered the patients' evaluations of positive and negative changes, as well as their wishes for the future. There were no preoperative differences between the 71% of patients in the good outcome group and the 29% in the poor outcome group. With regard to the postoperative course, the poor outcome group had more problems in adapting to new eating behaviours, experienced significantly more post-surgical complications, and had a persistently negative body evaluation. Both groups were satisfied with their achieved weight loss achieved, and their improved self-esteem and mobility. Adjustable gastric banding seems to be successful in inducing weight loss and allowing a better quality of life. However, factors such as postoperative complications, the ability and willingness to adopt new eating attitudes, and an improved body image seem to be crucial for therapeutic outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In steady-state conditions serum leptin concentration is directly related to body fat stores, but is also affected by changes in energy balance. This cross-sectional study investigated the serum leptin concentrations of severely obese patients with binge eating disorder (BED), in whom body fat was greater than normal and, because of eating pattern, rapid and repeated changes in energy balances took place. METHODS A group of BED obese patients was compared to a group of obese patients with a regular eating pattern with the same body weight, body composition and resting energy expenditure. Serum leptin was measured and the eating attitudes were evaluated by Eating Inventory and Eating Disorder Inventory. RESULTS In these patients serum leptin concentrations were only weakly correlated to body mass. Furthermore, in BED obese patients serum leptin concentration was higher than in their non binging counterparts. CONCLUSIONS In obese patients both body fat size and eating behavior influence serum leptin concentration, but BED patients binge eating is not triggered by a low leptin value.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between loss of control over eating, adiposity, and psychological distress in a nontreatment sample of overweight children. METHOD Based on self-reports of eating episodes, 112 overweight children, 6-10 years old, were categorized using the Questionnaire of Eating and Weight Patterns-Adolescent Version into those describing episodes of loss of control over eating (LC), and those with no loss of control (NoLC). Groups were compared on measures of adiposity, dieting, and eating behavior, and associated psychological distress. RESULTS LC children (33.1%) were heavier and had greater amounts of body fat than NoLC children. They also had higher anxiety, more depressive symptoms, and more body dissatisfaction. 5.3% met questionnaire criteria for BED. Episodes of loss of control occurred infrequently, were often contextual, and involved usual meal foods. DISCUSSION As in adults, overweight children reporting loss of control over eating have greater severity of obesity and more psychological distress than those with no such symptoms. It remains unknown whether children who endorse loss of control over eating before adolescence will be those who develop the greatest difficulties with binge eating or obesity in adulthood.

Abstract
The obese Zucker rat (OZR) exhibits a hyperphagic eating pattern similar to the obese binge eater. Dynorphin, an endogenous agonist of the kappa receptor, is associated with regulation offood intake. Lessened sensitivity to opioid antagonists and/or increased central dynorphin levels may contribute to the hyperphagic eating pattern observed in the OZR. This study examined the temporal effect of a single intracerebroventricular (ICV) dose of nor-binaltorphimine (NBNI), a specific and long-lasting kappa opioid antagonist, on food intake, body weight, and satiety measures (meal size and the shape of the cumulative food intake curve [CFIC]) in adult male OZRs. Analysis of individual subjects revealed a differential response to opioid antagonism with respect to weight loss, reduction in food intake, and change in the slope of the CFIC, with some responding and others responding poorly. Repeated-measures analysis of variance showed a significant decrease in body weight (P = 0.001) and food intake (P = 0.03) in responders compared to poor responders and controls. Satiation was influenced to a greater extent in responders, who showed a significant reduction in meal size and a greater change in the CFICfor the largest meal of the day toward a pattern of satiation. These data suggest that a differential response to chronic opioid antagonism may exist in the OZR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to examine the psychological and behavioral characteristics associated with both night eating syndrome (NES) and binge eating disorder (BED) in 42 males and 41 females who were enrolled in a university-based weight loss center. METHOD Individuals were classified into one of four groups: NES only (N = 23), BED only (N = 13), both NES and BED (N = 13), or no diagnoses of an eating disorder (N = 34). Analyses of covariance (covarying for age and gender) were conducted to compare patients with BED and NES. RESULTS NES patients scored lower on disinhibition than BED patients (p <.01). Also, individuals who met criteria for both disorders scored higher than NES only patients on state anxiety (p <.01), disinhibition (p =.08), and trait anxiety (p =.08). DISCUSSION These results suggest that NES represents a subcategory among the obese, which also overlaps with binge eaters. In addition, anxiety distinguished individuals who met criteria for both disorders from patients who were diagnosed with either NES or BED.

Abstract
Dimensions of body image in a sample of obese women diagnosed with binge eating disorder (BED; N=42) were compared with a sample of obese women without BED (non-BED; N=42), matched on age and BMI. Additionally, the relationship between BED, body image and several dimensions of treatment response was examined. Results indicated BED women were more likely to negatively evaluate their global physical appearance and have less satisfaction with specific areas of the body than were non-BED women, even after controlling for depression scores. While BED women were significantly more likely to endorse depressive symptoms, depression scores were negatively correlated with body satisfaction in non-BED women only. BED women did not fare worse in formal weight-loss treatment, as measured by length of time in treatment, group-therapy attendance, or BMI at posttreatment. The role of body image in women with BED seeking weight-loss treatment is discussed relevant to the context of potential impact of BED and negative body image on active weight-loss treatment and maintenance.

Abstract
Binge eating disorder (BED) is a recently conceptualized eating disturbance, and its clinical features and prevalence are still a matter of debate. This study uses interview methodology to estimate the prevalence of BED in Italy in a sample of 66 obese people presenting for treatment, and examines potential related features typical of patients with anorexia and bulimia nervosa. The lifetime and the 6-month prevalences of BED were 18.1 and 12.1%, respectively. Breaking the group down on the basis of the current as well as lifetime presence of BED, we found that the weight and shape primary to self-esteem, and the interpersonal distress related to body image, were associated with lifetime BED (P<0.05). All-or-none thinking about food and dieting was typical of BED patients as a whole, either current (P<0.01) or remitted (P<0.05). We discuss two important findings from our study: (a) the key role of self-esteem depending upon weight and shape in discriminating the eating-disordered obese from non-eating-disordered individuals; and (b) the need to explore the whole lifespan when screening for BED, so pointing to the state-trait issue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To clarify the associations between obesity and health-related quality of life by exploring the associations between physical and emotional well-being in relation to obesity and the presence of other chronic illness. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES The study data were collected as part of a postal-survey within the old Oxford Regional Health Authority of England in 1997. Completed questionnaires were returned by 8889 of 13,800 randomly selected adults aged 18 to 64 years. The main outcome measures were body mass index in five categories (underweight, normal weight, overweight, moderately obese, morbidly obese); chronic illness status (any vs. none and number of such illnesses 0, 1 to 2, 3+); and mean SF-36 questionnaire score in two summary component measures reflecting physical and emotional well-being. RESULTS Of the subjects, 31% were overweight and an additional 11% were obese. Body mass index was significantly associated with health status, but the pattern varied according to whether the measure reflected physical or emotional well-being. Physical, but not emotional, well-being deteriorated markedly with increasing degree of overweight and was limited in subjects who were obese but had no other chronic condition; subjects with chronic illnesses other than obesity were compromised in both dimensions. In terms of the number of chronic illnesses reported, the additional presence of obesity was associated with a significant deterioration in physical but not emotional well-being. DISCUSSION Overweight and obesity are associated with poor levels of subjective health status, particularly in terms of physical well-being. The limitations in emotional well-being that are reported here and in other studies may be a result of confounding by the presence of accompanying chronic illness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study with 31 obese binge eaters (body mass index [BMI] 39.5+/-8.6 kg/m(2) [SD]) was designed to assess whether diet counseling with psychological support and imipramine or placebo has an effect on the frequency of binge eating, body weight, and depression during an 8-week treatment phase. This was followed by an open medication-free phase of 6 months of continuous diet counseling with psychological support. METHODS Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study of 8 weeks followed by an open phase of 6 months. Patients were evaluated in medical visits by a semistructured videotaped interview, psychometric questionnaires, and hematochemical parameters. RESULTS From Week 0 to 8, a significant reduction in binge frequency occurred in both treatment conditions (7.1+/-4.1 to 2.8+/-3.0 binges per week [imipramine] vs. 7.1+/-4.1 to 5.4+/-5.1 [placebo], p<.01). Patients on imipramine lost -2.2+/-1.8 kg compared to placebo-treated subjects (+0.2+/-3.3 kg, p<.001). On follow-up, only the patients initially treated with imipramine continued to lose weight (-5.1+/-2.8 kg [imipramine] vs. 2.2+/-6.8 kg [placebo], p<.001 [differences to Week 0]). While both treatment conditions were associated with significant improvements on a rater's measure of depressive symptoms (Hamilton Depression Scale) at Week 8, only the patients treated with imipramine still showed a significant improvement at Week 32. Scores on the Self Depression Rating Scale did not show a group difference but a significant reduction at Weeks 8 and 32, compared to baseline. DISCUSSION These results suggest that adding low-dose imipramine to diet counseling with psychological support helps patients losing weight even for at least 6 months off medication. The effect might include a psychological priming of weight loss during the double-blind phase that continues at least for half a year after stopping the drug.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity can be considered as a risk factor for (re-)occurrence of coronary heart disease. METHODS The relationship between modification in quetelet index and personality characteristics was assessed in 166 survivors of a first myocardial infarction (MI). Quetelet index (weight/(height)2) was calculated a few days after first MI and again 5 months later. A multiple regression analysis was executed, with the quetelet index after 5 months as dependent variable and adjustment for gender, age, and quetelet index at baseline. RESULTS It was found that strong feelings of vital exhaustion and lack of tension significantly contributed to the prediction of increased quetelet index 5 months after a first MI. CONCLUSIONS It is recommended that individually tailored interventions be used based on these personality characteristics to accomplish body weight reduction in MI patients.

Abstract
Dieting has been implicated as a potential contributor in the development of binge eating problems in binge eating disorder (BED). If dieting plays a causal role in the etiology of BED, this could have major implications for understanding and treating individuals with the disorder. This article reviews the existing literature on the role of dieting in BED. Retrospective studies of dieting history, research on levels of dietary restraint, and prospective studies investigating the effects of dieting on subsequent eating behavior are explored. Although the literature is inconclusive as to the exact role that dieting plays in the etiology of BED, recommendations for future research and suggestions for treatment are given.

Abstract
Little is known about the long-term course of binge eating disorder (BED). The aim of the study was to assess the 3- and 6-year course and outcome of 68 consecutively treated females with BED. Their mean age was 29.3 years and they were assessed longitudinally at four timepoints: (1) beginning of therapy; (2) end of therapy; (3) 3-year follow-up; and (4) 6-year follow-up. Self rating as well as expert ratings were used for assessment. Symptoms of specific eating disorder as well as general psychopathology were measured. The general pattern of results over time was as follows: substantial improvement during therapy; slight (in most cases nonsignificant) decline during the first 3 years after the end of treatment, and further improvement and stabilization in years 4, 5, and 6 after the end of treatment. At the 6-year follow-up, the majority showed no major DSM-IV eating disorder, 5.9% had BED, 7.4% had shifted to bulimia nervosa (purging type) (DSM-IV), 7.4% were classified as ED-NOS, and one patient died. Based on an operationalized global outcome score for the complete sample, 57.4% had good outcome, 35.3% intermediate outcome, 5.9% poor outcome, and one person (1.4%) died. BED and BNP patients showed very similar intermediate and long-term course in self ratings as well as expert ratings.

Abstract
Because diet is a key issue in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, it is assumed that these patients are prone to eating disorders. In a multicenter study, we have therefore assessed the prevalence of eating disorders in 662 patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) (n = 340) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) (n = 322). A two-stage study combining self-rating questionnaires and a standardized interview was carried out. We found a prevalence of eating disorders of 5.9% (lifetime prevalence of 10%), irrespective of gender and type of diabetes; 4.1% of the whole sample reported intentional insulin undertreatment or omission. When patients were stratified according to IDDM and NIDDM, there was no difference in the prevalence of all eating disorders (point prevalence 5.5% vs. 6.5%, lifetime prevalence 10.0% vs. 9.9%). Prevalence of bulimia nervosa (BN) was more frequent in IDDM patients (point prevalence 1.5% vs. 0.3%, lifetime prevalence 3.2% vs. 1.9%) and binge eating (BED) was more frequent in NIDDM patients (point prevalence 1.8% vs. 3.7%, lifetime prevalence 2.6% vs. 5.9%). We conclude that eating disorders seem to be equally frequent in IDDM and NIDDM patients. However, there might be different features of eating disorders in both types of diabetes.

Abstract
Binge eating has been identified as a common problem in samples of obese persons. Earlier studies found that approximately 30% of participants presenting for weight loss treatment could be diagnosed with Binge Eating Disorder (BED). This study investigated the prevalence of BED using the Questionnaire on Eating and Weight Patterns (QEWP) and the Interview for the Diagnosis of Eating Disorders (IDED) in a sample of 468 obese adults seeking weight loss treatment at two research facilities. The study found that only a small percentage of the participants met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, 4th Revision (DSM-IV) diagnostic criteria for BED using either the IDED (1.3%) or QEWP (7.3%). A larger percentage of the sample (10.7% based on the IDED and 20.5% based on the QEWP) reported binge eating, but did not endorse all criteria necessary to warrant a diagnosis of BED. The primary finding of the study was that the prevalence of BED in treatment seeking obese adults was much lower than was reported in previous studies. Also, there was significant discrepancy in prevalence rates of BED as defined by self-report and interview assessment methods, with the interview method yielding lower estimates of prevalence. These findings suggest that the prevalence of BED may be lower than estimates of earlier reports. We recommend that future studies of BED use reliable and valid interview methods and that this research focus on more diverse populations, including men and a variety of racial and ethnic groups.

Abstract
This paper points out recent diagnostic features of bulimia and anorexia nervosa and of the recently defined 'binge eating disorder'. The pharmacologic treatment approaches for these conditions will be reviewed by discussing the results of randomized controlled studies. For anorexia nervosa (AN), the outcome of pharmacotherapy has been poor, in contrast to bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED), where pharmacological treatment, primarily with antidepressants, has proved to be effective, at least in the short run. However, long-term outcome studies are still awaited. (MJ Psych Clin Pract 1997; 1: 21-35).

Abstract
The patient presenting with binge-eating disorder requires a detailed clinical assessment that takes into account behavioral, somatic, and psychological aspects of the disorder. Treatment selection depends on the patient's particular goals. Antidepressant medications and CBT are effective, at least in the short term, in suppressing binge eating and reducing depressive symptoms. Fluoxetine may, in addition, promote short-term weight loss, which is more likely to be maintained if medication is administered in the context of behavior therapy. Preliminary study suggests that behavior therapy may be designed to promote weight loss, even in the absence of medication treatment, without undermining binge cessation. Appetite suppressant medications clearly promote weight loss, but their use in suppressing binge eating has yet to be studied specifically. Further study is needed in several areas including the feasibility and efficacy of treatment approaches that combine medication and psychotherapy, the efficacy of individual versus group psychotherapy, the long-term outcome of various forms of treatment, and the clinical features that predict favorable response to different treatment modalities.
