“…Future studies should examine a broader range of subjects, including subjects with subthreshold forms of BED, and normal weight BED, also with comorbid disorders [81]. Furthermore, they should focus on ED symptomatology rather than weight, for instance considering days in which the patient is abstinent from binge eating as the main outcome measure rather than frequency of binge itself.…”

“…The patients with this latter condition were defined as having subthreshold BED (s-BED) [31,32]. Exclusion criteria were: a comorbid, full-syndrome axis I disorder (psychosis, mania, organic dementia, alcohol or other drug abuse, and suicide risk) other than depression, and obesity secondary to endocrinologic or metabolic disorders.…”

Background: Obesity and binge eating disorder (BED) are prevalent conditions that severely affect the quality of life of many people in developed countries, but an effective treatment remains elusive. Personality traits have been studied extensively in this population, leading to different, and at times conflicting, results. Subtyping BED people along these features could add to our knowledge of the disorder. Methods: We applied a two-step cluster analysis, followed by bootstrapping validation, to the Temperament and Character Inventory scores of 462 subjects affected by obesity and BED or subthreshold BED. Results: We found two clusters of subjects; however, the categorization in clusters 1 and 2 did not appear to strictly overlap with the distinction between BED and subthreshold BED. The first cluster showed higher harm avoidance and a lower self-directedness. Cluster 1 patients had higher depression, higher eating impulsivity, greater problems with their body image and poorer quality of life than cluster 2 patients. Conclusions: Our results seem to confirm the heterogeneity of the binge eater population and suggest the importance of harm avoidance and self-directedness to subtype these subjects. These results could generate exploratory works regarding personality in obese people with BED to discover more targeted treatments.

“…The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of duloxetine over a period of 3 months in obese binge eating subjects who satisfied the full criteria for BED (APA, 2000) and in subjects with sub-threshold binge eating (s-BED) (Guerdjikova and McElroy, 2009) but high eating impulsivity. We focused our attention on eating pathology as the primary outcome (number of binges per week and scores on the binge eating scale (BES)).…”
