The purpose of this study is to describe the prevalence of problematic feeding in the first 6 months of life in infants born preterm, the impact of feeding problems on the family and parent, and explore which factors known at the time of neonatal discharge predict later symptoms of problematic feeding. The study design is a longitudinal, observational study. The sample included 43 infants born at 28.3 (23.57-33.86) weeks postmenstrual age at 1, 3, and 6 months corrected gestational age. The Infant Eating Assessment Tool and Feeding Impact Scales provided the main outcome variables. Prevalence of problematic feeding was 64% at 1 month, 66% at 3 months, and 29% at 6 months. Diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease while in the NICU was the greatest predictor of problematic feeding in the first 6 months. Families and parents were more negatively impacted when their infant had problematic feeding.

Background: Lifestyle modification is essential to achieve and maintain successful outcomes after metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). Emotions, physical states, and contextual factors are considered important determinants of maladaptive eating behavior, emphasizing their significance in understanding and addressing weight management. In this context, experience sampling methodology (ESM) offers promise for measuring lifestyle and behavior in the patient's natural environment.

Problematic Internet use has been associated with eating disorders. An increasing number of young adults are using social media, and a variety of content promoting anorexia and bulimia (pro-anorexia and pro-bulimia) has been identified. The aim of this study is to qualitatively analyze this content to understand how it affects individuals with eating disorders or those at risk.

The hypothalamic neuropeptide system of orexin (hypocretin) neurons provides projections throughout the neuraxis and has been linked to sleep regulation, feeding and motivation for salient rewards including drugs of abuse. However, relatively little has been done to examine genes associated with orexin signaling and specific behavioral phenotypes in humans. Here, we tested for association of twenty-seven genes involved in orexin signaling with behavioral phenotypes in humans.
