“…For example, statements like ‘I reminded myself that binge-eating is dangerous’ and ‘I made myself have negative thoughts about binge-eating’ may have been endorsed as more cognitive coping, but in fact reflected psychopathological cognitive processes. Food-related cognitions, including negative preoccupation with food and food-related thought suppression, are strongly associated with binge eating (Mason & Lewis, 2015). These cognitive coping strategies may actually have the effect of making it more difficult to control binges, thus reducing QOL.…”

Individuals with obesity and binge eating disorder (BED) report poorer weight-realted quality of life (WRQOL) compared to individuals with obesity alone. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the best available treatment for BED, does not consistently produce weight loss or improvements in weight QOL. The purpose of the current study was to examine baseline and longitudinal associations between eating-related and psychosocial variables and dimensions of weight QOL. We examined associations between predictor variables, including body mass index (BMI), eating disorder (ED) psychopathology, and psychosocial factors, in relation to three dimensions of WRQOL among 171 patients whom received CBT for BED. Participants completed interviews and self-report measures at baseline prior to CBT and at end of treatment. At baseline the following associations were significant: BMI, ED psychopathology, and self-esteem were associated with weight-related self-esteem; gender, BMI, and self-esteem were associated with weight-related public distress (i.e., stigma and worry in public because of one’s weight); and age, BMI, and ED psychopathology were associated with weight-related physical function. At end of treatment, the following associations were significant: changes in ED psychopathology and coping predicted weight-related self-esteem; changes in coping and self-esteem predicted weight-related public distress; and changes in BMI and subjective binge eating predicted weight-related physical function. Overall, changes in a number of ED and associated symptoms were associated with improvements in WRQOL.

Research on sex differences in the relationship between obesity and psychiatric disorders is more abundant in some areas, such as depression and eating disorders, than others, such as anxiety, trauma, and substance use. However, for most of the disorders, their relationships with obesity and sex are complex and are usually moderated by additional variables. Thus, studies that find stronger relationships for women between depression and obesity cross-sectionally do not tell the whole story, as longitudinal studies suggest that this relationship may also be present among men, particularly when confounders are considered. For those with eating disorders, men and women with obesity are fairly equally affected, and weight and shape concerns may play a role in maintaining these behaviors for both sexes. Weight stigma, though, seems to have worse consequences for women than men with obesity. Sex differences exist in relation to the associations between mental health and obesity. However, these differences vary by disorder, with disorder-specific moderators playing a role, such as age for depressive disorders, comorbid depression for anxiety disorders, and weight and shape concerns for eating disorders. More work is needed to understand if sex differences play a role in the relationship between obesity and anxiety, trauma, and substance use disorders.

“…Support for the DPM has been provided by a number of cross‐sectional studies (e.g., Duemm, Adams, & Keating, ; Evans, Tovée, Boothroyd, & Drewett, ; Girard, Chabrol, & Rodgers, ; Hutchinson, Rapee, & Taylor, ; Maraldo, Zhou, Dowling, & Vander Wal, ; Mason & Lewis, ; Ouwens, van Strien, van Leeuwe, & van der Staak, ; Ruisoto et al, ; Stice et al, ; van Strien, Engels, van Leeuwe, & Snoek, ; Welsh & King, ; Womble et al, ), with the model found to account for 9% (van Strien et al, ) to 71% (Stice et al, ) of the variance in disordered eating symptoms. Possible reasons for such variation in findings may be due to differences in the operationalization of disordered eating symptoms (e.g., overall disordered eating symptoms [Evans et al, ] opposed to binge‐eating symptoms [van Strien et al, ], as well as differences in the variables that have been included/omitted from the models being tested (see below for further discussion).…”

“…Thus, it remains unclear how negative urgency might affect these other variables. Mason and Lewis () reported that trait impulsivity did not lead to binge‐eating symptoms, but that it did exert an effect on body shame, food‐related cognitions, and negative affect. Finally, Racine and Martin () found that interactions amongst negative urgency and other variables implicated in the DPM, including pressure to be thin, thin ideal internalization, body dissatisfaction, and dietary restraint, were significantly related to bulimic symptoms.…”

Objective This study extends the dual pathway model (DPM) of bulimic symptoms by considering the bidirectional effects amongst symptoms of depression, dietary restraint, and bulimia. We also assessed the influence of negative urgency, a personality construct associated with bulimic symptoms, on the DPM. Method Participants were 244 females (Mage = 23.77 years) from the general community. Variables pertinent to the DPM as well as negative urgency were assessed at baseline, and symptoms of depression, dietary restraint, and bulimia were reassessed at 1‐month follow‐up. Results Excellent model fit was obtained once modifications were made to the DPM and the extended model that included negative urgency. Cross‐sectional paths replicated the DPM as hypothesized, with the exception that time 1 (T1) body mass index failed to predict T1 body dissatisfaction. Although no bidirectional effects were observed, T1 depression predicted dietary restraint at time 2 (T2). Negative urgency was shown to provide incremental predictive utility of T1 pressure to be thin, T1 body dissatisfaction, and T1 and T2 depression. Conclusion Findings lend support to the DPM and suggest that depression might be a risk factor for later dietary restraint. The results are also consistent with the notion that negative urgency may be an independent risk factor for symptoms of bulimia. However, short‐term longitudinal effects of these putative risk factors require further evaluation.
