“…This data are in line with the research by Macht, (2008) and Blum, Liu, Shriner & Gold (2011); eating behaviour can be understood as a behavioural attempt to reduce an aversive stimulus. In accordance with Koff and Sangani (1997) and Lee et al (2007), this coping style is also related to excessive food intake, as our data show.…”

Título: Análisis del comportamiento alimentario y sus factores psicológicos en población universitaria no obesa. Resumen: En el comportamiento alimentario de la población obesa pueden influir diversos factores psicológicos como, por ejemplo, la restricción alimentaria, la falta de control o el comer emocional. Aunque en la mayoría de las ocasiones estas variables se han estudiado en la población obesa, este estudio pretende evaluar la relación de estos factores con el comportamiento alimentario de la población no obesa y relacionar este comportamiento con el Síndrome de Edorexia. Se aplica una batería de tests compuesta por el Cuestionario del Síndrome de Edorexia, el Cuestionario de Personalidad BFQ y el Cuestionario de Respuesta de afrontamiento CRI-A a una muestra de 75 alumnos de la Universidad de Murcia. Nuestros resultados muestran cómo el Síndrome de Edorexia se relaciona con una disminución de estabilidad emocional, control emocional y reevaluación positiva, así como con un aumento de la aceptación y resignación. Además, los individuos con Síndrome de Edorexia se relacionan con la realización de dietas, privación de alimentos, realización de actividad física y el consumo sin necesidad. Estos resultados se explican mediante la teoría de las cinco vías (Macht, 2008) que relaciona la falta de habilidades para gestionar las emociones con el abuso incontrolable de alimentos. Palabras clave: Comportamiento alimentario; factores psicológicos; comer emocional; restricción de alimentos. Abstract:The eating beahaviour of obese population can be influenced by various psychological factors such us eating restriction, lack of control or emotional eating. Although in most ocassions this variables have been studied in obese population, the aim of this study is to evaluate the relations between this factors with eating behaviour in non-obese population and relate this behaviour with Edorexia Syndrome. A battery of psychological tests was applied to 75 students of Murcia University, this battery consisted of the Edorexia Syndrome Questionnaire, Big Five Personality Questionnaire and the Coping Response Inventory (CRI-A). The results showed how the Edorexia Syndrome was related with a dicrease in emotional stability, emotional control and positive reevaluation as well as an increase in acceptance and resignation. In addition, people with Edorexia Syndrome were related to dieting, food deprivation, exercising and consumption without needing. This results are explained by the Five Ways Theory (Macht, 2008) which relates the lack of skills to cope with emotions with the uncontrollable abuse of food.

“…On the other hand, overfeeding can also be related to a coping style focused in emotion (Koff & Sangani, 1997) and in avoidance (Lee, Greening & Stoppelbein, 2007). In most cases, individuals with an avoidant coping style show metabolic diseases such as insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and obesity.…”

“…Second, substance withdrawal often elevates emotional stimuli or distress, which seem to induce an increase of food intake among restrained eaters [55]. This could lead to a vicious circle of increased distress about shape and tentative weight loss.…”

Eating behaviors and nutritional status of persons suffering from psychoactive substance abuse have generally been studied separately. The relationship between eating disorders and addiction has been subject of numerous publications. To date, it is insufficiently described, especially among clinical, heterogeneous samples to justify interventions. Even if there is currently a debate whether food (or certain eating behaviors) can be addictive or not [1][2][3][4], two major commonalities between eating behavior and drugs consumption behavior have been demonstrated: 1) their co-occurrence and 2) their shared neurobiological pathways.Co-morbidity surveys show an association of eating disorders or eating problems and substance use or abuse [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Prevalence of substance use is higher than expected in persons with eating disorders [11]. A meta-analysis including 16 papers investigated drug use in people with eating disorders or eating problems and showed that the relationship was stronger for persons with bulimia, binge eating disorders or binge eating characteristics [12]. Conversely, high rates of eating disorders or problematic eating behaviors were found among people suffering from substance use disorder [13][14][15]. The majority of studies included women only.Some neurobiological pathways linking food intake with reward are similar to those observed in substance use [3,[16][17][18]. Whereas Abstract Objective: To describe eating behaviors and body composition before, during and after substance abuse withdrawal, and to assess if these factors were related with withdrawal outcome.Methods: This was a three month follow-up study examining eating behaviors (measured by validated questionnaires and interview), substance use (assessed with Addiction Severity Index) anthropometry (weight, height and bioimpedance for body composition), medical conditions and psycho-social environment (recorded from medical files and Addiction Severity Index) of 117 patients enrolling in a detoxification program at the University Hospitals, Geneva, Switzerland.Characteristics at baseline and after one month were compared according to patients' outcome. Variables showing a significant association with relapse were entered in a multivariate logistic regression Results: Most patients were men (84, 71%), and detoxified from alcohol (95, 81%). Relapse rates were 27% after 1 month and 45% after 3 months. Eating disorders were rare but 19% scored high on shape concern scale, 35% experienced nibbling, 20% compulsive night eating and 14% binge episodes, 24% displayed lower than normal fat-free mass and 40% had higher than normal fat mass. Bivariate analysis showed that low nutritional status (low BMI, or low fat mass or low fat free mass), was associated with a decreased risk of relapse. Withdrawal from drugs, higher tobacco consumption and higher severity index for legal area were associated with relapse. These determinants showed no effect on outcome in a multivariate analysis. Conclusion:Problematic eating behaviors were common in...

Prior to 1975, the scientific literature mainly used to compare obese with normal-weight subjects or subjects with or without an eating disorder. This period was followed by the emergence of "unrestrained eaters", who have "normal" eating behaviors versus "restrained eaters", who are normal-weight individuals with similar eating behavioral patterns than those of obese people [2]. After this first observation, the definition of a "restrained eater" has developed and came into a consensus: it describes someone who constantly deliberately controls his food intake in order to maintain or lose weight [3]. This person could have a normal bodyweight, be overweight or even obese and the dietary control could be efficient or ineffective [4]. Here, the intention to control food intake is the main characteristic. It is not surprising that CR is most often identified in individuals AbstractCognitive Restraint, a mind control over food intake in order to lose or maintain weight, leads to harmful consequences in individuals suffering from overweight or obesity. These consequences include an alteration of internal perceptions of hunger and satiety, a disinhibition, an emotional dysregulation and a decrease in selfesteem and body satisfaction. Nevertheless, the systematic review on the subject highlights a lack of consensus. In fact, many studies suggest that flexible control, or even an increase in self-control could be efficient to lose weight and improve an individual's psychological factors. After presenting each point of view and its arguments as well as the internal validity of studies, we will discuss promising future research perspectives.
