A 1-year follow-up study of the longitudinal interplay between emotion dysregulation and childhood trauma in the treatment of anorexia nervosa.

Objective: The study aimed to investigate the complex relationship between eating disorder (ED) specific psychopathology, emotion dysregulation, and their longitudinal variations in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) treated with a multidisciplinary approach including enhanced cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT-E), and to provide an integrated model which includes childhood trauma as a predictor of worse treatment outcomes.

Method: In total, 120 female patients with AN were evaluated at admission (T0), and 105 were re-evaluated after 1 year (T1) of treatment. At T0, patients underwent a clinical assessment and filled the Symptom Checklist 90-Revised (SCL90-R), the Eating Disorders Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q), the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ).

Associations between severe food insecurity and disordered eating behaviors from adolescence to young adulthood: Findings from a 10-year longitudinal study.

Emerging evidence suggests a cross-sectional association between food insecurity (FI) and disordered eating among adults, while evidence among adolescents is limited. Longitudinal research is needed to elucidate the temporality of this relationship and clarify whether the association differs by age. Three waves of prospective data came from 1813 participants in the Project EAT (Eating and Activity in Teens and Young Adults) cohort study.

Are there protective associations between family/shared meal routines during COVID-19 and dietary health and emotional well-being in diverse young adults?

Background: This study examined who is engaging in family/shared meals and associations between family/shared meal frequency and home food availability, dietary consumption, and emotional well-being among young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: A rapid-response online survey was sent to participants in a ten-year longitudinal study (Eating and Activity over Time: EAT 2010-2018). A total of 585 young adults (mean age = 24.

Adverse experiences as predictors of maladaptive and adaptive eating: Findings from EAT 2018.

Adverse experiences, such as childhood abuse and other violence victimization, are associated with problematic eating. However, whether different types of adversity relate to both maladaptive and adaptive eating behaviors is unclear. This study examined the associations of different adverse experiences with maladaptive (i.

Associations of sleep with food cravings and loss-of-control eating in youth: An ecological momentary assessment study.

Background: Inconsistent sleep patterns may promote excess weight gain by increasing food cravings and loss-of-control (LOC)-eating; however, these relationships have not been elucidated in youth.

Objective: We tested whether sleep duration and timing were associated with food cravings and LOC-eating.

Method: For 14 days, youths wore actigraphy monitors to assess sleep and reported severity of food cravings and LOC-eating using ecological momentary assessment.

Adverse childhood experiences in relation to mood-, weight-, and eating-related outcomes in emerging adulthood: Does self-compassion play a buffering role?

Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with a range of health problems, yet protective factors such as self-compassion may help buffer these associations.

Objective: This study examined associations of distinct patterns of ACEs with depressive symptoms, body mass index (BMI), and disordered eating symptoms and investigated self-compassion as a potential protective factor.

Participants And Setting: Data from a diverse sample of 1440 emerging adults (M = 22.

Identification of high risk and early stage eating disorders: first validation of a digital screening tool.

Background: Eating disorders are amongst the deadliest of all mental disorders, however detection and early intervention rates remain extremely low. Current standardised screening questionnaires can be arduous or confronting and are ill-validated for online use, despite a universal shift to digital healthcare. The present study describes the development and pilot validation of a novel digital screening tool (the InsideOut Institute-Screener) for high risk and early stage eating disorders to drive early intervention and reduced morbidity.

The impact of circadian timing on energy balance: an extension of the energy balance model.

A significant proportion of the population is classified as having overweight or obesity. One framework which has attempted to explain biobehavioral mechanisms influencing the development of overweight and obesity is the energy balance model. According to this model, the body continually attempts to balance energy intake with energy expenditure.

Lisdexamfetamine Pharmacokinetic Comparison Between Patients Who Underwent Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Nonsurgical Controls.

Introduction/purpose: The objective of this research was to characterize the impact of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on the pharmacokinetic properties of the pro-drug lisdexamfetamine and its active metabolite, d-amphetamine.

Materials And Methods: A case-control design was used where patients who had undergone RYGB 9-24 months prior were matched on sex, age, and body mass index (BMI) to nonsurgical controls who had no history of weight loss surgery. Each participant received a single 50 mg dose of lisdexamfetamine, and plasma samples were collected over a 24-h period following dosing.

Body dissatisfaction and disordered eating are prevalent problems among U.S. young people from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds: Findings from the EAT 2010-2018 study.

Purpose: Body dissatisfaction and disordered eating are linked to adverse health consequences. Research describing socioeconomic patterns in the prevalence of these problems is important for informing the design of health services and efforts to improve health equity.

Methods: Population-based cohort study (EAT 2010-2018: Eating and Activity over Time) of socioeconomically and ethnically/racially diverse U.

Food insecurity and its associations with bulimic-spectrum eating disorders, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders in a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults.

Purpose: To examine cross-sectional associations between food insecurity and 12-month eating disorders, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders among U.S. adults.

The theory of planned behaviour and sleep opportunity: An ecological momentary assessment.

Many American adolescents and adults report that they are not meeting sleep duration recommendations. Although insufficient sleep duration can occur due to factors outside an individual's direct control, many individuals choose to restrict their own sleep. The theory of planned behaviour (TPB) offers a framework to study this phenomenon.

Disordered eating following bariatric surgery: a review of measurement and conceptual considerations.

Eating disorders are associated with significant medical morbidity and mortality and serious psychological impairment. Individuals seeking bariatric surgery represent a high-risk group for evidencing disordered eating and eating disorders, with some patients experiencing the persistence or onset of disordered eating postsurgery. This review synthesizes the available literature on problematic or disordered eating in the bariatric field, followed by a review of measurement and conceptual considerations related to the use of eating disorder assessment tools within the bariatric population.

Using network analysis to compare diagnosis-specific and age-specific symptom networks in eating disorders.

Objective: The network theory of mental disorders conceptualizes eating disorders (EDs) as networks of interacting symptoms. Network analysis studies in EDs mostly have examined transdiagnostic and/or mixed age samples. The aim of our study was to investigate similarities and differences of networks in adolescents and adults with anorexia nervosa (AN) or bulimia nervosa (BN).

Diet pill and laxative use for weight control predicts first-time receipt of an eating disorder diagnosis within the next 5 years among female adolescents and young adults.

Objective: To replicate findings from a prior study which identified prospective associations between use of products for weight control and subsequent receipt of a first-time eating disorder (ED) diagnosis among female adolescents and young adults.

Method: Data from a prospective cohort study, Project EAT (Eating and Activity in Teens and Young Adults), were used to examine prospective associations between self-reported past-year diet pill and laxative use for weight control and self-reported receipt of an ED diagnosis among females without prior receipt of an ED diagnosis (N = 1,015). Participants were followed from early/middle adolescence (EAT-I; M  = 14.

Past-Year Abuse and Eating Disorder Symptoms Among U.S. College Students.

Evidence consistently indicates associations between eating disorders (EDs) and childhood emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, but the relationship between EDs and abuse occurring later in development has largely been unexplored. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine associations between past-year abuse and ED symptoms among college students. Participants represented 12 U.

Disease and Treatment-Related Burden in Patients With Acromegaly Who Are Biochemically Controlled on Injectable Somatostatin Receptor Ligands.

Medical treatment for acromegaly commonly involves receiving intramuscular or deep subcutaneous injections of somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs) in most patients. In addition to side effects of treatment, acromegaly patients often still experience disease symptoms even when therapy is successful in controlling GH and IGF-1 levels. Symptoms and side effects can negatively impact patients' health-related quality of life.

Disordered eating in a population-based sample of young adults during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Objective: The present study aimed to describe the experience of, and factors associated with, disordered eating in a population-based sample of emerging adults during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Method: Participants in the EAT 2010-2018 (Eating and Activity over Time) study were invited to complete the C-EAT (COVID-19 EAT) survey in April-May 2020. There were 720 respondents to the survey (age: 24.

Treatment outcomes of psychotherapy for binge-eating disorder in a randomized controlled trial: Examining the roles of childhood abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Objective: To examine childhood abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as predictors and moderators of binge-eating disorder (BED) treatment outcomes in a randomized controlled trial comparing Integrative Cognitive-Affective Therapy with cognitive-behavioural therapy administered using guided self-help.

Method: In 112 adults with BED, childhood abuse was defined as any moderate/severe abuse as assessed by the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, lifetime PTSD was assessed via the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV, and outcomes were assessed via the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE). Covariate-adjusted regression models predicting binge-eating frequency and EDE global scores at end of treatment and 6-month follow-up were conducted.

DSM 5 Lifetime Psychiatric Diagnoses in Two Bariatric Surgery Programs.

Patients presenting for bariatric surgery have been shown to have high rates of psychiatric disorders. These studies have utilized structured interviews using older versions of the DSM. This study examined whether similar lifetime frequencies would be similar using the recent DSM-5.

Intraindividual Variability of Sleep Opportunity Attitudes, Perceived Norms, Perceived Behavioral Control, and Intentions.

Background: Recent research has used the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to predict sleep. However, this research has focused on between-person effects and has failed to capture the intraindividual variability of sleep-related attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intentions.

Purpose: The current study sought to characterize the between- and within-day patterns of these constructs.

Big 5 personality traits and intraindividual variability in sleep duration, continuity, and timing.

Objectives: The personality traits of conscientiousness and neuroticism have been consistently linked to mean-level, self-reported sleep duration and continuity. The present study expands this literature by using actigraphy sleep assessment to examine how personality is related to both mean-level and the intraindividual variability in sleep duration, continuity, and timing.

Design: One-week ecological sleep assessment.

Intuitive Eating is Associated With Higher Fruit and Vegetable Intake Among Adults.

Objective: Assess how intuitive eating relates to dietary intake.

Methods: Survey data were collected in Project Eating and Activity in Teens and Young Adults, the fourth wave of a longitudinal cohort study (weighted n = 1,830, 49% women; mean age = 31 years). Intuitive eating was assessed using a 7-item scale adapted from the Intuitive Eating Scale and Intuitive Eating Scale-2.

Network Analysis of Posttraumatic Stress and Eating Disorder Symptoms in a Community Sample of Adults Exposed to Childhood Abuse.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and eating disorders (EDs) are individually debilitating and highly comorbid conditions. Childhood abuse is a prominent risk factor for PTSD and ED symptoms both individually and as a comorbid syndrome (PTSD-ED). There may be a functional association between comorbid PTSD-ED symptoms whereby disordered eating behaviors are used to avoid trauma-related thoughts and feelings.
