Epidemiology of binge eating disorder

Abstract: Objective: First described over 50 years ago, binge eating disorder (BED) only recently has become the focus of epidemiologic studies. This article provides a comprehensive review of these studies. Method: Relevant studies were examined and summarized in the form of a narrative review. Results: Similar to the early studies of bulimia nervosa (BN), the first generation of epidemiologic studies of BED is limited in scope or methodology. They focus on prevalence rates and provide only basic demographic characteri… Show more

“…Yet, we note that the lifetime prevalence rates of BN, BED, and any binge-eating observed in our sample were within the range of prevalence estimates reported in the literature for non-Hispanic white samples. 27 The relative under representation of individuals with AN may be due to cultural differences in the presentation of eating disorder symptoms with Latinos being more inclined to exhibit binge-eating than restricting. 11 The standard eating disorder criteria may not be appropriate for understanding psychological morbidity of restricting eating disorders for Latinos, particularly less acculturated Latinos.…”

“…Por outro lado, a prevalência de bulimia nervosa foi de 3,5% no estudo de Kalarchian 32 e de 1,8% no estudo de Mauri et al 30 . Curiosamente, no momento da avaliação pré-operatória, a prevalência foi menor que 0,5% [0,3% no estudo de Kalarchian Perda % do peso total (6 meses) Perda % do peso total (1 ano) Perda % do peso total (2 anos) Perda % peso total embora, quando se considerem casos subclínicos (sublimiares, por exemplo, um episódio de binge por semana nos últimos três meses), a prevalência descrita seja de 39% a 50% 8,38,39 . Os diagnósticos diferenciais do TCAP envolvem bulimia nervosa (a ingestão excessiva é acompanhada de comportamento compensatório inapropriado), síndrome do comer noturno (falta de apetite pela manhã, comer excessivo à noite e insônia) e obesidade sem compulsão alimentar.…”

“…BED is further defined as binge eating that occurs twice per week for at least 6 months (Stunkard and Allison 2003a). BED is associated with early onset of obesity, increased frequency of weight cycling, greater susceptibility to weight regain, and psychiatric disturbances such as anxiety disorders, depression, and substance abuse (Striegel-Moore and Franko 2003). The most common current treatments, which include antidepressants and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy, are only modestly successful for the long-term reduction of binge eating (Stunkard and Allison 2003a;Yanovski 1993).…”

“…In the general population, BED prevalence estimates range from 1.5% to 5% in women and 1% to 3% in men (StriegelMoore and Franko 2003;Yanovski 1993). The prevalence of BED is higher in obese individuals, with 20-30% of obese individuals seeking treatment displaying BED (Jarosz and Metzger 2002;Striegel-Moore and Franko 2003;Yanovski 1993). Thus, binge eating may be an important contributor to the development and maintenance of obesity in a subgroup of obese individuals.…”
