Background: The impact of presurgical eating patterns on postoperative outcomes is poorly understood. The results of previous studies are mixed regarding the impact of presurgical binge eating on weight loss after surgery. However, many patients describe other maladaptive eating patterns prior to surgery, such as eating in response to emotions. The goals of this study were to describe presurgical emotional eating patterns in morbidly obese individuals, determine whether these individuals were binge eaters, and assess the effect of this eating behavior on weight loss after surgery.
Methods: Prior to surgery, 144 Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) patients completed the Questionnaire of Eating and Weight Patterns (QEWP) or QEWP-Revised (QEWP-R) and the Emotional Eating Scale to assess eating patterns prior to surgery. Their eating behavior, levels of depression, and weight were assessed after surgery.
Results: High emotional eaters tended to have higher levels of depression, binge eating, and eating in response to external cues than low emotional eaters prior to surgery. However, there appeared to be a distinct group of individuals who were high emotional eaters but who did not engage in binge eating. At a mean of 8 months after surgery, High Emotional Eaters and Low Emotional Eaters were indistinguishable on these subscales and there were no differences in weight lost.
Conclusions: RYGBP has an equally positive impact on eating behavior and weight loss for both High Emotional Eaters and Low Emotional Eaters. Further replication is needed with longer follow-up times and larger samples.

Unhealthy eating, a risk factor for eating disorders (EDs) and obesity, often coexists with emotional and behavioral problems; however, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms are poorly understood. Analyzing data from the longitudinal IMAGEN adolescent cohort, we investigated associations between eating behaviors, genetic predispositions for high body mass index (BMI) using polygenic scores (PGSs), and trajectories (ages 14-23 years) of ED-related psychopathology and brain maturation. Clustering analyses at age 23 years ( = 996) identified 3 eating groups: restrictive, emotional/uncontrolled and healthy eaters.

Background: Night Eating Syndrome (NES) is a prevalent eating disorder that significantly impacts individuals' quality of life and well-being. However, most NES research has focused on adolescent populations, leaving a significant gap in our understanding of its prevalence and predictors among adults, particularly in the MENA region. This study, therefore, presents a novel contribution by filling this gap and determining the prevalence of NES and its predictors among adults in Abha, Saudi Arabia.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigated how effective Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is in reducing stress, rumination, and increasing distress tolerance among women with Bulimia Nervosa (BN) in Iran, using a quasi-experimental design with a control group.
- - A total of 50 female BN patients were randomly divided into two groups (experimental and control) after initial assessments showed no significant differences between them.
- - Results indicated that ACT led to a significant decrease in perceived stress and rumination, as well as improved distress tolerance in the experimental group compared to the control group, suggesting it could be a beneficial treatment option for BN.
