“…This association was replicated here in two additional groups of college students. Reward Enhancement, the other internal motive, was previously found to contribute to variance in binge-eating severity among college students, which can also exacerbate weight gain (Abraham, Massaro, Hoffmann, Yanovski, & Fox, 2014; Peterson, Latendresse, Bartholome, Warren, & Raymond, 2012). …”

Eating tasty food to cope. Longitudinal association with BMI

The goals of this study were to determine if a change in certain motives to eat highly palatable food, as measured by the Palatable Eating Motives Scale (PEMS), could predict a change in body mass index (BMI) over time, to assess the temporal stability of these motive scores, and to test the reliability of previously reported associations between eating tasty foods to cope and BMI. BMI, demographics, and scores on the PEMS and the Binge Eating Scale were obtained from 192 college students. Test–retest analysis was performed on the PEMS motives in groups varying in three gap times between tests. Regression analyses determined what PEMS motives predicted a change in BMI over two years. The results replicated previous findings that eating palatable food for Coping motives (e.g., to forget about problems, reduce negative feelings) is associated with BMI. Test–retest correlations revealed that motive scores, while somewhat stable, can change over time. Importantly, among overweight participants, a change in Coping scores predicted a change in BMI over 2 years, such that a 1-point change in Coping predicted a 1.76 change in BMI (equivalent to a 10.5 lb. change in body weight) independent of age, sex, ethnicity, and initial binge-eating status (Cohen's f2 effect size = 1.44). The large range in change of Coping scores suggests it is possible to decrease frequency of eating to cope by more than 1 scale point to achieve weight losses greater than 10 lbs. in young overweight adults, a group already at risk for rapid weight gain. Hence, treatments aimed specifically at reducing palatable food intake for coping reasons vs. for social, reward, or conformity reasons, should help achieve a healthier body weight and prevent obesity if this motive-type is identified prior to significant weight gain.

Background/Aims: The alterations of eating behavior are insufficiently recognized in the clinical attention of adults with obesity. The objective of this study was to examine the characteristics of overeating behavior and its association with depression, perceived stress, acylated ghrelin, nestafin-1, and cortisol. Methods: This cross-sectional comparative study included 80 participants with obesity and 50 with normal weight. The volunteers completed questionnaires to evaluate symptoms of food addiction (FA), obsessive compulsive, binge eating (BE), depression, and perceived stress. We measured glucose, lipids, acylated ghrelin, nesfatin-1, and insulin in a fasting blood sample as well as urine cortisol. We compared groups with students t test, and analysis of variance, and tested associations by logistic and multiple regression. Results: By multiple regression, the BE total score was positively associated with the FA (p < 0.0001) and depression total score (p < 0.0001). By logistic regression, the positive score of FA was associated with ghrelin (p < 0.02). The perceived stress total score was associated negatively with cortisol (p < 0.0006). Conclusion: The BE and FA are strongly associated in agreement with the concept that both conditions have overlapping features. Depressive symptoms are associated with symptoms of disordered eating behavior. FA positive score was associated with ghrelin. BE total score was associated with nesfatin-1.

“…9,13 Binge eating disorder is also highly associated with obesity and its negative physiological consequences, such as insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. [14][15][16] Although the association between binge eating and obesity-related comorbid conditions may be, in large part, explained by the increased weight of those with binge eating, 14,17,18 some preliminary data suggest that even independent of adiposity, adults with obesity and binge eating disorder have worse metabolic and inflammatory profiles than adults with obesity, but without the disorder. 19 Although youth typically do not meet full criteria for binge eating disorder, loss of control (LOC) eating, the subjective experience of being unable to stop eating regardless of the amount of food consumed, is commonly reported by children and adolescents.…”

Pediatric Loss of Control Eating and High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Concentrations

Background: Loss of control (LOC) eating in youth is associated with excess body weight and adiposity. After adjusting for fat mass, youth with LOC eating have higher blood pressure and higher low-density lipoprotein cholesterol compared to youth without LOC eating. Increased inflammation may account for this relationship, although few data have examined this hypothesis. Therefore, this study explored the association between LOC eating and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), a marker of inflammation.Methods: We investigated hsCRP concentrations in relation to LOC eating in a convenience sample of 194 youth (age 14.3 -2.1 years; 63.9% female; BMI-z 1.64 -1.06). The presence of LOC eating in the past month was assessed by the Eating Disorder Examination interview. Serum hsCRP was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Adiposity was measured by air displacement plethysmography or dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. We compared hsCRP in those with and without LOC eating in analyses accounting for sex, adiposity, height, depressive symptoms, and eating psychopathology.Results: Youth with LOC eating had significantly greater hsCRP than youth without LOC eating ( p = 0.02), after accounting for all covariates. The number of LOC eating episodes in the past month was positively associated with hsCRP ( p = 0.01). The relationship between LOC eating and hsCRP was not mediated by depressive symptoms or eating psychopathology ( ps > 0.05).Conclusions: Youth with disinhibited eating may manifest increased chronic inflammation. Those with LOC eating may be an important subgroup at risk for adverse health outcomes associated with both chronic inflammation and obesity. Future research should examine whether hsCRP concentrations mediate the relationship between LOC eating and its association with cardiometabolic risk.
