Objective: The present study examined the effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on self-reported eating-related psychopathology and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Outcomes of the LSG group were compared with a group of conservatively treated (CT) patients, who underwent a 1-year multimodal weight reduction group program that included dietary advice, physical exercise, psychoeducation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, training in Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation, and social group support. The setting was a multidisciplinary obesity center.
Method: A sample of 103 patients with obesity were investigated using the Eating Disorder Inventory and the Short Form Health Survey before and, on average, 19 (±5) months after weight loss intervention. Thereof, 63 patients (age 45.6±10.9years, 71.4% females) underwent LSG, and 40 patients (age 50.6±11.3years, 77.5% females) underwent the CT program. Patients were assigned to either the surgical or the nonsurgical intervention group following clinical guidelines and patient preference.
Results: In the LSG group, excess weight loss (%EWL) was 53.0±24.0%, and body mass index (BMI) decreased from 51.5±8.1 to 38.0±7.7kg/m. In the CT group, %EWL was 13.9±27.1%, and BMI decreased from 40.3±6.7 to 38.0±7.2kg/m. Significant improvements in eating-related psychopathology were observed in both groups. Although both groups had a similar BMI after the respective interventions, LSG patients reported significantly greater body satisfaction and substantial improvement in perceived physical health from a lower baseline level than CT patients.
Discussion: In the second follow-up year, LSG was associated with greater weight loss from a higher baseline weight, and greater improvements in self-reported eating-related psychopathology and physical HRQoL compared with conservative treatment.

Article Synopsis
- ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) is a new classification in eating disorders, but research distinguishing it from similar disorders like anorexia and pediatric feeding disorder is limited.* -
- Few studies have successfully identified different subtypes of ARFID, like sensory sensitivity and low appetite, but results vary on how distinct ARFID is from other eating disorders.* -
- Future research should focus on better classification of ARFID and its subtypes by including various factors and long-term studies to improve understanding and treatment.*

Article Synopsis
- Empirical research indicates strong links between teasing about weight and muscularity and eating behaviors in men, but most studies have overlooked the impact of different types of teasing.
- This study analyzed 596 Chinese adult men to explore how four teasing categories—high weight, low weight, high muscularity, and low muscularity—affect eating disorder symptoms and intuitive eating through various statistical approaches.
- Results revealed that the "Low Teasing" group experienced the least eating disorder issues and the most intuitive eating, while the "High Weight-High Muscularity" group had the most severe eating disorder symptoms, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions for men facing different teasing experiences.

Objective: This study examined cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of intermittent fasting (IF) engagement with body mass index (BMI), both thinness-oriented and muscularity-oriented eating disorder (ED) psychopathology, eating-related psychosocial impairment, and intuitive eating.
Method: Using a longitudinal design, 491 Chinese adults (M = 30.33 years, SD = 7.
Muscularity bias internalization moderates the associations of muscularity dissatisfaction with muscularity-oriented disordered eating and psychosocial well-being in men but not women.

Prior research demonstrates positive associations between muscularity dissatisfaction and an array of negative health outcomes, including muscularity-oriented disordered eating, eating-related psychosocial impairment, and psychological distress. However, muscularity dissatisfaction differs by gender and is not always linked to these outcomes, indicating the existence of moderators of these associations. We proposed and examined muscularity bias internalization (MBI) as a moderator of these associations.
