“…Data also suggest that LOC eating may predispose children to weight gain and obesity (Tanofsky-Kraff et al, 2006, 2009c. The mechanisms are not fully understood, but a preference for palatable foods during LOC episodes may place children at risk for excess energy intake long-term.…”

“…4,[6][7][8] A recent prospective, longitudinal study of children aged 6-12 demonstrated that children who engaged in binge eating gained an additional 15% more fat mass compared to children who did not binge eat. 9 Given the potentially chronic nature of the disorder, studies aimed at identifying, measuring, and treating BED in children are much needed.…”

Objective: Binge eating disorder (BED) may manifest itself differently in children than adults. Recently researchers have proposed provisional criteria for measuring BED in children. The purpose of this study was to develop a brief, simple, structured, interviewer-administered scale (C-BEDS) to measure BED in children according to the provisional criteria and to compare diagnostic results with SCID diagnoses.Method: A total of 55 children between the ages of 5 and 13 were interviewed with both the SCID and the C-BEDS.Results: There was a significant association between the two measures (p ¼ .001). Both measures adequately identified children with binge eating behaviors. Conclusion:Both the provisional criteria and the C-BEDS may be developmentally appropriate for use with children, although the C-BEDS may be a better screening instrument as it quickly identified children with subsyndromal BED. If used by physicians and other health providers, this brief measure may assist with identifying early onset binge eating behaviors and avoiding the associated consequences, including adult BED, obesity, and other comorbidities.

“…Similarly, Fairburn et al 10 studying the longitudinal course of binge eating in the community over a 5-year period, found that, while binge eating was strikingly unstable over time, the prevalence of obesity in the sample had nearly doubled by the end of the study. Several studies of adolescents have reported associations between binge eating and upward weight trajectory, [11][12][13][14] although Stice et al 15 in a recent study of 11-to 15-year-old girls observed over a 4-year period, did not find binge eating to be associated with obesity onset.…”

Objective: To revisit the merits and problems inherent in considering obesity, or some aspect of obesity, as a mental or behavioral disorder. Method:The author suggests shifting the focus from the state of obesity to the process of nonhomeostatic overeating that results in obesity. Studies are reviewed that pertain to various models of nonnormative overeating including eating disorder models that stress the form of overeating, substance use disorder models focusing on its consequences, and affect regulation or stress response models focusing on its function.Results: Studies focusing on abnormal eating patterns, including binge eating and night eating suggest that such patterns may be related to the development of obesity. While the literature pertaining to substance use and other models of nonhomeostatic overeating is beginning to mount, current evidence is mostly preliminary and indirect.Conclusion: An attempt to devise diagnostic criteria based on the above models raises multiple difficulties, since the phenomena central to each model are dimensional, common, and variably associated with distress or dysfunction. A detailed understanding of the neurobiological relationships among eating behavior, reward systems, and affect regulation systems will enable a more meaningful consideration of these models and will facilitate specific treatment for disorders of overeating.

A Prospective Study of Psychological Predictors of Body Fat Gain Among Children at High Risk for Adult Obesity

Abstract: Children's reports of binge eating and dieting were salient predictors of gains in fat mass during middle childhood among children at high risk for adult obesity. Interventions targeting disordered eating behaviors may be useful in preventing excessive fat gain in this high-risk group.
