“…Participants meeting inclusion criteria were invited for a third visit within 2 weeks. They completed the neuroimaging exam and self‐report questionnaires, including the Loss of Control over Eating Scale (LOCES) (Latner, Mond, Kelly, Haynes, & Hay, 2014; Luz et al, 2016) which examines severity of loss of control during binge‐eating episodes in the past month.…”

Objective Research on potential brain circuit abnormalities in binge eating disorder (BED) is limited. Here, we assess white matter (WM) microstructure in obese women with BED. Method Diffusion tensor imaging data were acquired, and tract‐based spatial statistics used to examine WM in women with BED who were obese (n = 17) compared to normal‐weight (NWC) (n = 17) and to women who were obese (OBC) (n = 13). Body mass index (BMI) was a covariate in the analyses. Results The BED group (vs. NWC) had greater axial diffusion (AD) in the forceps minor, anterior thalamic radiation, superior and inferior longitudinal fasciculus, that is, in pathways connecting fronto‐limbic regions. Microstructures differences in AD between the BED and OBC groups were seen in fronto‐limbic pathways extending to temporoparietal pathways. The BED (vs. OBC) group had greater fractional anisotropy in the forceps minor and greater AD in the superior longitudinal fasciculus, cingulate gyrus, and corpus callosum, consistent with fronto‐tempoparietal pathways. Conclusion Women with BED show WM alterations in AD in fronto‐limbic and parietal pathways that are important in decision‐making processes. As BMI was a covariate in the analyses, alterations in BED may be part of the pathology, but whether they are a cause or effect of illness is unclear.

The aims of this paper were to compare (1) the proportion of participants diagnosed with threshold or subthreshold Bulimia Nervosa (BN) and Binge Eating Disorder (BED) (clinical utility), and (2) the severity of participants’ clinical features and mental Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) (convergent validity), when diagnosed according to either the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—5th edition (DSM-5) or the proposed International Classification of Diseases 11th edition (ICD-11) schemes. One hundred and seven adult men and women, with a high Body Mass Index (BMI) were evaluated by interview to confirm their eating disorder diagnoses. All participants completed self-report assessments of current symptoms and mental HRQoL. The majority of participants in either diagnostic scheme were included in the main categories of BN or BED (102/107, 95% in the ICD-11 and 85/107, 79% in the DSM-5). Fewer individuals received a subthreshold other or unspecified diagnosis with the ICD-11 compared to the DSM-5 scheme (5% vs. 21%). No significant differences in demographic, clinical features or mental HRQoL of participants with complete or partial BN or BED were found between diagnostic categories. Compared to the DSM-5, the proposed ICD-11 was not over inclusive, i.e., it did not appear to include people with less severe and potentially less clinically relevant symptoms. These results support the greater clinical utility of the ICD-11 whilst both schemes showed convergent validity.

“…The LOCES shows good internal consistency and test–retest reliability, as well as convergent and discriminant validity [ 20 ]. We used a Brazilian-Portuguese version of the LOCES to assess loss of control over eating [ 21 ]. Cronbach’s alpha for the item pool of LOCES in this study was 0.91.…”

Eating disorders, such as binge eating disorder, are commonly associated with difficulties with emotion regulation and mental-health complications. However, the relationship between eating-disorder symptoms, difficulties with emotion regulation, and mental health in people with binge eating disorder is unclear. Thus, we investigated associations between eating-disorder symptoms, difficulties with emotion regulation, and mental health in 119 adults with binge eating disorder. Participants were assessed with the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire, Loss of Control over Eating Scale, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale, and the 12-Item Short Form Survey at the pre-treatment phase of a randomized controlled trial. Structural-equation-modelling path analysis was used to investigate relationships between variables. We found that (1) eating-disorder behaviors had a direct association with depression, anxiety, and stress; (2) depression, psychological stress, difficulties with emotion regulation, and eating-disorder psychopathology had a direct association with mental-health-related quality of life; and (3) eating-disorder psychopathology/behaviors and stress had a direct association with difficulties with emotion regulation. Our findings show that depression, stress, difficulties with emotion regulation, and eating-disorder psychopathology were related in important ways to mental-health complications in people with binge eating disorder.
