“…This is important because many generalist physicians may not be familiar with or skilled in the assessment of BED [22] and the use of these relatively brief self-report measures may help to identify patients with BED and to characterize the nature of their suffering. In both generalist [25] and specialist [37] settings obese patients with BED are characterized by greater psychological and medical problems than their non-binge-eating obese peers. Such relatively low-cost identification of patients with BED may help primary care physicians provide referrals efficiently to specialist clinicians who can deliver empirically supported treatments which include specific pharmacological [38, 39] and psychological [39] methods.…”

Objective Given the prevalence and health significance of binge eating disorder (BED) it is important to determine if time-efficient self-reports can adequately assess BED and its features in primary care settings. We compared the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) and Questionnaire for Eating and Weight Patterns-Revised (QEWP-R), administered to obese patients with BED in primary care to the Eating Disorder Examination interview (EDE). Method Sixty-six participants completed questionnaires and were interviewed Results The EDE was significantly correlated with the EDE-Q (binge eating, four subscales, global score) and QEWP-R (binge eating, distress, body image). The EDE-Q yielded significantly lower estimates of binge eating and significantly higher scores on the EDE subscales. The QEWP-R yielded significantly higher scores on the behavioral indicators and distress about binge eating and body image variables. Discussion These findings suggest that these two self-report measures have potential utility for identifying BED in obese patients in primary care.

“…The ORs were even stronger when comparing obese men and women to normal weight men and women (men: OR = 2.47, 95% CI:1.80–3.41; women: OR = 2.80, 95% CI: 2.03–3.86) [48], indicating that the prevalence of NES may be greater with increasing obesity severity. Other studies support this, estimating prevalence rates of NES as highest in severely obese treatment-seeking adults, with rates ranging from 8% [49] to 42% [50]. The lack of standard diagnostic criteria until recently [51], may account for this wide range.…”

“…Clear prevalence rates of depression among those with NES, however, are difficult to pinpoint, partly because depressed individuals are screened out of night-eating trials [53–55]. Numerous studies have revealed higher scores on the Beck Depression Inventory in individuals with NES than in obese-matched controls without NES [49,52,56–58]. A recent study conducted in Turkey investigated the prevalence of NES in a group of 335 patients with and without major depression, and found that the rate of NES was significantly higher (32.5%) in the depressed group than in the non-depressed group (19.2%) [59].…”

Three mental health problems commonly associated with obesity are major depression, binge eating disorder (BED), and Night Eating Syndrome (NES). Evidence from both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies support independent relationships between obesity and depression, and between obesity and binge eating. These problems are most prevalent in severely obese individuals (Class III obesity; a body mass index (BMI) of >40kgm2), many of whom seek bariatric surgery, and we briefly review whether the presence of pre-operative depression, BED or NES affects post-operative outcomes. Historically depressed individuals have been screened out of weight loss trials due to concerns of worsening mood with weight loss. Such practices have precluded the development of effective treatments for depressed, obese individuals, leaving large numbers of people without appropriate care. We present recent advances in this area, and attempt to answer whether depressed individuals can lose clinically significant amounts of weight, show improvements in mood, and adhere to the demands of a weight loss intervention.

“…The lifetime prevalence of the behavior of BE is estimated to be 4.5% for adults in the United States with slightly higher prevalence among women (Hudson, Hiripi, Pope, & Kessler, 2007). Between 9% (Allison et al, 2006) and 47% (Adami, Meneghelli, & Scopinaro, 1999) of individuals seeking treatment for obesity report BE.…”

We applied twin methodology to female and male twin pairs to further understand the nature of the relation between two behaviors associated with eating disorders-binge eating (BE) and night eating (NE) in an effort to determine the extent of overlap of genetic and environmental factors influencing liability to these behaviors. We calculated heritability estimates for males and females for each behavior and applied bivariate twin modeling to the female data to estimate the genetic and environmental correlation between these two traits. Data on BE and NE were derived from the Swedish Twin Study of Adults: Genes and Environment (STAGE) of the Swedish Twin Registry (STR; N = 11604). Prevalence estimates revealed sex differences with females more likely to endorse BE and males more likely to endorse NE. In males, we were only able to estimate univariate heritabilities due to small sample sizes: The heritability for BE was . (0.48, 0.96)] suggests considerable overlap in the genetic factors influencing liability to BE and NE. In females, there is considerable overlap in the genetic factors that contribute to these traits, but the incomplete overlap allows for the influence of independent genetic and environmental factors as well. BE and NE in females are therefore best conceptualized as related but not identical traits.
