Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the differences in microbiome profiles among children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), autoimmune liver disease (AILD), a combination of both (IBD-AILD), and healthy controls.
- Results show that children with AILD alone have microbiome profiles similar to healthy controls, while IBD and IBD-AILD share distinct profiles different from AILD alone.
- The findings imply that the microbial imbalance (dysbiosis) in IBD-AILD and IBD is primarily influenced by IBD rather than AILD.
Objective: We aim to determine how increasing the specificity of binge eating criteria affects the prevalence of self-reported binge eating among presurgical bariatric patients.
Method: 197 women ages 20 to 65 being assessed for bariatric surgery with a BMI greater than 30kg/m(2) were interviewed and completed the Eating and Exercise Examination.
Results: The prevalence of self-reported binge eating was 55% (n=109).
Objective: Body dissatisfaction is present in a majority of women without eating disorders (EDs), and almost all women with EDs. We compared body dissatisfaction in women with and without EDs to determine at which BMI women are content with their weight, and to determine if body dissatisfaction is affected by the presence of purging behaviours.
Methods: We assessed women, age 18 to 55 with an ED (N=431) and without an ED (N=719) using the discrepancy between their current and desired BMI.
Purpose: We examined prospectively changes in current BMI and body weight dissatisfaction in women with and without eating disorders (EDs) during and after pregnancy compared to prepregnancy.
Methods: We assessed pregnant women with (ED group, N = 18) and without an ED (Control group, N = 129) using current BMI and the discrepancy between current and desired BMI (body weight dissatisfaction). This is a measure representative of overall body dissatisfaction.
Is pregnancy a trigger for recovery from an eating disorder?
Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand
December 2013
Objective: Pregnancy produces significant changes in a woman's body weight and shape. This study examines changes in body mass index (BMI) and quality of life related to eating disorders (QOLED) prior to, during and after pregnancy in both women with and without eating disorders.
Design: Prospective study.
Perceived body weight, eating and exercise problems of different groups of women.
Australas Psychiatry
October 2012
Objective: To compare prevalence of problems with body weight, eating and exercise (past or present) of female psychiatric inpatients with routine care, gynaecological and obstetric female outpatients, and eating disorder inpatients.
Method: One thousand and thirty-eight females aged 18-55 years from routine care (n=99), gynaecological (n=263) and obstetric (n=271) outpatient clinics, and eating disorder (n=223) and general psychiatric units (n=182) participated. Participants self-reported past or current problems with weight, eating and exercise using a short survey.
