“…Longitudinal studies have demonstrated that in many cases, ED-symptoms wax and wane in severity (e.g. (35)). The high incidence rate in relation to the prevalence in the general population and the transition of symptoms among a subgroup of subjects may partly explain why only a small percentage of subjects with ED seek treatment.…”

Objective: To examine the prevalence, incidence and prospective risk factors for eating disorders (ED) among young adult females. Method: Using a prospective design, a randomly selected sample of 1157 females (18-30 years) from the general population was examined with questionnaires for establishing ED diagnoses, self-esteem, body concern, coping and perceived social support. Results: The prevalence of ED was 3.2% and the 2-year ®rst-time incidence was 0.0105 (n=8). Subjects in the extended incidence group (n=34) reported signi®cantly lower self-esteem and perceived social support, and higher body concern and relative use of escape-avoidance coping, at the onset of the study in 1997, compared to controls (n=643). Furthermore, they reported a signi®cant increase in body concern and relative use of escape-avoidance coping, and a signi®cant decrease in selfesteem compared to controls from 1997 to 1999. Conclusion: These factors may be considered as risk factors for later development of ED among young adult women.

“…Specifically, female college students appear to be particularly at risk for the development of eating disorders due to increases in independence, peer pressures, academic stress, and/or difficulty in transitioning to a new environment (Mintz & Betz, 1988;Striegel-Moore, Silberstein, Frensch, & Rodin, 1989).…”

“…Experiencing negative self-evaluation (Fairburn, Welch, Doll, Davies, & O'Connor, 1997), low self-esteem (Button, Sonuga-Barke, & Davies, 1996), and perceived ineffectiveness (Striegel-Moore et al, 1989) also have been identified as potential risk factors for eating disorders. Stice and colleagues (Stice, Akutagawa, Gaggar, & Agras, 2000;Stice, Ziemba, Margolis, & Flick, 1996) emphasized that negative affect and dietary restraint are important triggers for the development of bulimic pathology.…”

“…In the eating disorder pathway described earlier, these individuals may be experiencing enhanced body dissatisfaction or confusion during this time period (as they are attempting to make new friends and/or determine self-identity), which places them at a greater risk for dieting behaviors, negative affect, and eating disorder symptoms. Female college students also appear to be particularly at risk for eating disorder due to these increases in peer pressure, academic stress, independence, and difficulties adapting to a new environment (Mintz & Betz, 1988;Striegel-Moore et al, 1989).…”

The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of a cognitive-dissonance based intervention in reducing disordered eating attitudes and behaviors. The intervention program created dissonance through discussion, exercises, and homework aimed at addressing and countering internalized sociocultural pressures, beliefs and values about women's bodies, attractiveness, and worth in the U.S. Seventy-seven female undergraduates were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: cognitive-dissonance, combined cognitive-dissonance, healthy weight placebo control, and wait-list control To determine effectiveness of the intervention, MANCOVA procedures were used, with Time 1 scores serving as the covariate. Overall, the women who received the dissonance based interventions produced the strongest effects among measures assessing sociocultural pressures, internalization, and body dissatisfaction in comparison to the control group, and experienced significant reductions in dieting behaviors and bulimic symptoms over the course of the study, suggesting that the creation of dissonance via the intervention assisted the women in reducing eating disorder risk factors. Tebbe for all their efforts and enthusiasm in the initial development of these programs.On a personal note, I would like to thank Kelsey Latimer for her unconditional support throughout this program and for making studying for tests seem like a lot of fun! I would like to thank all my family members (Momm, Dadd, Elissa, Michael, Tom, Sarah, Gramma, Gloria, Horacio, Florencia, and Alejandro) for always caring and listening to me when I had a lot to say. Finally, I would like to thank Sebastian Machin for his generosity, support, and love…we did it.iii (Mussell, Binford, & Fulkerson, 2000). Even so, most researchers acknowledge the central role that sociocultural factors play in their development (Striegel-Moore & Bulik, 2007). The pursuit and internalization of societal ideals of thinness (the "thin ideal") may be attributable in part to repeated exposure to messages, communicated by family, friends, and the media, that glamorize and glorify excessive thinness (Irving, 1990;Stice, Schupak-Neuberg, Shaw, & Stein, 1994). Women may become dissatisfied with their bodies as they compare themselves to these unrealistic and unattainable societal body ideals (Brownell, 1991), and then react to this dissatisfaction in one (or both) of two specific ways. For some women, because physical appearance strongly influences their self-evaluation and emotional state, body dissatisfaction can lead to feelings of sadness, guilt, shame, depression, anxiety, and hostility. To cope with and distract themselves from these negative emotions, these women may binge eat; that is, eating becomes a salve for their affective distress (Stice, 2001). Other women may react to their body dissatisfaction by increasing their efforts to diet in an attempt to alter physical size to more closely approximate the societal thin-ideal. Because of the extensive caloric restriction and the inability to mai...

“…The maximum possible score is 30 for Symptom Scale. A symptom score of 20 or more indicates a highly disordered eating pattern and the presence of binge eating; the medium range (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19) suggests an unusual eating pattern; the low range (0-10) falls within normal limits.…”

Aim:To determine the binge-eating disorder (BED) and relationships with body mass index (BMI) and nutritional status in 281 university students. Materials and Methods: BED was assessed by Bulimic Investigatory Test, Edinburgh (BITE) proposed by Henderson and Freeman. Results: Sixty-five students (14.2 % male, 8.9 % female; totally 23.1 %) met the criteria for BED (BED+) with a mean age of 20.9± 1.7 years and BMI of 23.7±3.9 kg/m 2 . Nearly fifteen percent (15.4 %) of the BED+ group was classified as at risk of overweight (85 th to <95 th percentiles) and 1.5 % of them were classified as overweight (>95 th percentile). Significant differences were observed in daily total energy intake between BED+ (2381±1096kcal/day) and BED-(1700±747 kcal/day) (p<0.05). There were significantly differences in consuming of breads/cereals, dairy products (p<0.01), vegetables, meat servings (p<0.05), between groups. Conclusion: These findings suggest that BED should be a significant health problem associated with medical problems among university students Keywords: Binge eating disorder (BED), dietary intake, university students, obesity Amaç: Üniversite öğrencilerindeki tıkınırcasına yeme bozukluğunun (TYB) sıklığını ve beden kitle indeksi (BKİ) ile beslenme durumları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya 281 gönüllü öğrenci katılmıştır. TYB'in varlığı Henderson ve Freeman tarafından geliştirilen BITE (Bulimic Investigatory Test, Edinburgh) anketi ile araştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Altmış beş öğrencinin (%23.1; %14.2 erkek, %8.9 kız) TYB kriterlerini sağladığı (TYB+), yaş ortalamalarının 20.9±1.7 yıl, BKİ ortalamalarının da 23.7±3.9 kg/m 2 olduğu saptanmıştır. Öğ-rencilerin %15.4'ünün şişmanlık riski taşıdığı (85-95.persentil), %1.5'inin de şişman (>95.persentil) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Günlük enerji alımları açısından gruplar arasında önemli farklılıkların (TYB+ grubu 2381±1096 kkal/gün; TYB-grubu 1700±747 kkal/gün; p<0.05) olduğu saptanmış; diyetle günlük alınan besinlerin miktarları açısından da özellikle ekmek ve tahıllar, süt ve ürünleri (p<-0.01), sebze ve et tüketimi (p<0.05) açısından farklılıklar belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Bu bulgular doğrultusunda, tıkınırcasına yeme davranış bozukluğunun üniversite gençliği arasında yaygın ve önemli bir sağlık problemi olduğu söylenebilir.Anahtar sözcükler: Tıkınırcasına yeme bozukluğu (TYB), besin alımı, üniversite öğrencileri, şişmanlık
