“…child eating behaviour), and vice versa (Kievit et al., 2018 ). LCSM go above and beyond usual longitudinal models as discussed elsewhere (Kievit et al., 2018 ) and have been applied to understand dynamic changes in various psychological domains, such as peer relationships (Rappaport et al., 2021 ), exercise drive and eating disorder symptoms (Chapa, Kite, Forbush, Tregarthen, & Argue, 2020 ). However, this method has not been applied to examine the bi‐directional longitudinal associations between PFPs and child eating behaviour.…”

BackgroundParental feeding practices (PFPs) are a key component of a child's food environment. Parent–child feeding relationships are hypothesised to be bidirectional; however, to date, few large prospective studies have examined this, instead focussing on unidirectional relationships. As such, the direction of relationships between PFPs and children's eating behaviours remains unclear.MethodsData were from Gemini, a population‐based sample of children born in England and Wales in 2007. Children's eating behaviours and PFPs were measured at 15/16 months and 5 years using validated psychometric measures (n = 1,858 children). Bivariate Latent Change Score Modelling was used to examine the nature of relationships between PFPs and children's eating behaviours at 15/16 months and 5 years. Models were adjusted to account for clustering of twins within families and for sex of the child, socioeconomic status, gestational age and age of the child at measurement time points.ResultsA reciprocal relationship was observed between instrumental feeding and emotional overeating, with greater instrumental feeding predicting greater increases in emotional overeating (β = .09; 0.03–0.15; p = .004) and vice versa (β = .09; 0.03–0.15; p = .005). Reciprocity was also observed between encouragement to eat nutritious foods and children's enjoyment of food, with greater encouragement predicting greater increases in enjoyment of food (β = .08; 0.02–0.13; p = .006) and vice versa (β = .07; 0.02–0.11; p = .003). Parent–child associations and child–parent associations were also observed.ConclusionThese findings are consistent with the hypothesis that certain feeding practices are used as a ‘natural’ response to a child expressing a greater interest in and enthusiasm for food, but at the same time, such practices impact the development of eating behaviours by nurturing and encouraging the expression of higher emotional overeating and greater enjoyment of food in preschool years. The findings provide important insights into the PFPs and eating behaviour traits that could be targeted as part of a tailored feeding intervention to support parents of children during the preschool formative years.

“…When present, binge eating can persist after weight restoration and affect the recovery from AN [5]. Compared with patients with AN who do not binge eat, those who binge eat frequently experience more adverse consequences (e.g., increased food addiction and compulsive exercise) that may delay recovery and prolong the duration of illness [6][7][8][9]. Despite the potential consequences of binge eating on the treatment outcome and recovery, little is known about the prospective predictors of binge eating in patients with AN after weight restoration.…”

Binge eating is a transdiagnostic eating disorder symptom that can occur in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN), persisting after weight restoration, and impeding their recovery. However, little is known about the biological predictors of binge eating after AN weight restoration. The goals of this exploratory study of 73 females with AN were: (1) to examine changes in cortisol, the adrenocorticotropic hormone, norepinephrine, ghrelin (total and active), and leptin levels across the admission, discharge, and 3 months post-discharge from the inpatient AN weight restoration; and (2) to determine whether the target hormones were associated with objective or subjective binge eating (OBE or SBE). The participants completed the self-reported Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Beck Depression Inventory-II, and provided fasting whole blood samples for hormone assays. The results showed significant changes in body mass index (BMI), cortisol, total ghrelin, and leptin levels over the three time points. The cortisol levels at admission and discharge were significantly associated with the number of SBE episodes at 3 months post-discharge. Findings suggest the need to replicate and confirm the role of cortisol in predicting the emergence of SBE and uncover the mechanisms underlying SBE and cortisol to prevent SBE and its negative consequences.

ObjectiveResearch suggests that both compulsive exercise and eating disordered behaviors increase during college. Despite strong cross‐sectional associations between compulsive exercise and eating disorders, it is unknown if compulsive exercise is a variable risk factor for eating disorders or simply a correlate. It was hypothesized that increases in compulsive exercise would significantly and prospectively predict increases in overall number of eating disorder symptoms over the study period.MethodA total of 265 first year college students who did not meet criteria for a full or subthreshold eating disorder diagnosis at Time 1 (age M = 18.15; SD = 0.42; 122 female [46%] at Time 1) completed reports of compulsive exercise and eating disorder symptoms via online questionnaires at four timepoints over the 9‐month 2021–2022 academic year (76% retention rate). Hypotheses were tested using a bivariate latent change score model.ResultsHypotheses were not supported. Change in compulsive exercise did not predict change in number of eating disorder symptoms. Change in number of eating disorder symptoms also did not predict change in compulsive exercise.ConclusionsCompulsive exercise did not emerge as a variable risk factor for the development of eating disorder symptoms among first year college students. The relationship between these behaviors should be investigated at different developmental timepoints, such as early adolescence, and potential third variables that may explain the observed co‐occurrence should be explored.Public significanceThis study investigated whether increases in compulsive exercise predicted increases in number of eating disorder symptoms among first year college students. Compulsive exercise did not significantly predict number of eating disorder symptoms. Additional research is warranted to clarify the relationship between compulsive exercise and eating disorder symptoms.
