Aim: This study compared functioning and productivity in individuals meeting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria for binge eating disorder (BED) to those without BED.
Methods: A sample of US adults from the National Health and Wellness Survey completed an Internet survey in October 2013. In addition to BED diagnostic criteria, the survey assessed functional impairment and productivity, respectively, using the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaire. Differences between BED and non-BED respondents were assessed using multivariate models controlling for factors, including age, sex and comorbidities.
Results: Of 22 397 respondents, 344 were categorised as BED respondents and 20 437 as non-BED respondents. Compared with non-BED respondents, BED respondents exhibited significantly (all P<.001) greater functional impairment on the SDS, as measured by mean±SD total (14.04±9.46 vs 3.41±6.36), work/school (3.86±3.62 vs 1.01±2.21), social life/leisure activities (5.29±3.49 vs 1.22±2.33) and family life/home responsibilities (4.89±3.44 vs 1.18±2.26) scores. Adjusted odds ratios (95% CIs) indicated that BED respondents were more impaired than non-BED respondents on the work/school (4.24 [3.33-5.40]), social life/leisure activities (6.37 [4.97-8.15]) and family life/home responsibilities (5.76 [4.51-7.34]) domains of the SDS. On the WPAI, BED respondents reported significantly (all P<.001) higher percentages (mean±SD) of absenteeism (9.59%±19.97% vs 2.90%±12.95%), presenteeism (30.00%±31.64% vs 10.86%±20.07%), work productivity loss (33.19%±33.85% vs 12.60%±23.22%) and activity impairment (43.52%±34.36% vs 19.94%±27.22%) than non-BED respondents.
Conclusions: The findings suggest individuals with BED experience considerable impairment in functioning and work productivity compared with individuals without BED.

Specific gut microbial, biological, and psychiatric profiling related to binge eating disorders: A cross-sectional study in obese patients.

Background & Aims: Binge eating disorder (BED) is a frequent eating disorder associated with obesity and co-morbidities including psychiatric pathologies, which represent a big health burden on the society. The biological processes related to BED remain unknown. Based on psychological testing, anthropometry, clinical biology, gut microbiota analysis and metabolomic assessment, we aimed to examine the complex biological and psychiatric profile of obese patients with and without BED.

Objective: This study aims to test a model where low self-monitoring (a sub-function of first-person domain of metacognition) and high negative urgency lead to a worsening of binge severity through the mediation of emotional dysregulation in patients with binge eating disorder (BED).
Method: Forty non-BED-obese and 46 BED-obese patients completed a battery of tests assessing metacognition and psychopathology. To test our hypothesized model, a structural equation model (SEM) using maximum likelihood estimation was conducted.

Objective: The present study aimed to (a) assess and compare personological traits and early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) of obese women with and without binge eating disorder (BED) and (b) identify the variables associated with the binge severity.
Method: One hundred women (55 BED-obese and 45 non-BED-obese) completed psychopathological and personological self-report questionnaires. A forward stepwise linear regression analysis was performed to assess variables associated with binge eating severity.

It has been suggested that obese patients with binge eating disorder (BED) show higher levels of dissociation and childhood trauma. This study assesses childhood trauma history and dissociative symptoms in obese patients with BED compared to obese patients without BED. The 241 patients participating in the study had to meet obesity criteria.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe Body Image Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (BI-AAQ), a measure designed to assess body image flexibility, was originally developed for and psychometrically investigated with nonclinical populations, but it has been recently administered to people with binge-eating disorder (BED) symptomatology. Tests of measurement invariance are needed to understand whether the BI-AAQ operates in the same way for BED and non-BED populations, thereby ensuring meaningful comparison across these groups. We thus tested the measurement invariance of the BI-AAQ in participants with and without clinically significant BED symptomatology.
