“…We note several strengths and limitations of our study as a context for interpreting these results. In addition to comparing the DSM-5 severity approach with alternative ones (see Goldschmidt et al, 2010;Grilo et al, 2001;Peterson, Miller, Crow, Thuras, & Mitchell, 2005), future research should also examine whether the four DSM-5 defined severity groups of BED differ significantly from each other in additional variables of clinical interest, including putative maintenance factors (i.e. Additionally, a post hoc power analysis (Reid, 2014) revealed that given the observed effect size for the between group differences outlined in the results section and Table 2, an alpha error probability of .05 and a sample size of 189, the estimated power of our analyses was 86.8 to 89.3%.…”

The clinical utility of the severity criterion for binge eating disorder (BED), introduced in the DSM-5 as a means of addressing heterogeneity and variability in the severity of this disorder, was evaluated in 189 treatment-seeking adults with (DSM-5) BED. Participants classified with mild, moderate, severe and extreme severity of BED, based on their weekly frequency of binge eating episodes, differed significantly from each other in body mass index (BMI), eating disorder features, putative factors involved in the maintenance process of the disorder, comorbid mood, anxiety and personality disorders, psychological distress, social maladjustment and illness-specific functional impairment (medium-to-large effect sizes). They were also statistically distinguishable in metabolic syndrome prevalence, even after adjusting for BMI (large effect size), suggesting the possibility of non-BMI-mediated mechanisms. The implications of the findings, providing support for the utility of the binge frequency as a severity criterion for BED, and directions for future research are outlined.

“…17 In a longitudinal study of 12,814 US adolescents, boys were more likely to underestimate their body weight because they prefer a large and physically developed body. 22 Such misperceptions in girls who overestimate their weight status reflect increasing concerns that this issue might lead to development of eating disorders 31,32 or the use of UWCBs. 19 Although several studies have reported that male adolescents often a preferred muscular and physically developed body, 19,21 Grogan 29 suggested that the meaning of ''masculinity'' in the male body changed in Western societies from a large and heavy body to a slender and moderately muscular body during the late 1980s.…”

“…In contrast, weight and shape concerns are presumed to be more stable over time, similar to core beliefs or personality constructs such as self‐esteem (e.g. Cooper & Fairburn, ; Goldschmidt et al, ). In conclusion, in spite of these aspects to be considered regarding the ambiguity of body dissatisfaction and overvaluation of shape and weight in BED, the existing studies provide hints that weight and shape concerns seem to be an important symptom of BED.…”

Body Image Disturbance in Binge Eating Disorder: A Review

Binge eating disorder (BED) is characterized by frequent binge eating without compensatory behaviour and is thus often associated with obesity. Whereas for the eating disorders anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, one of the main diagnostic features is a negative body image, the research criteria for BED do not include body image disturbance. Although several studies have been conducted on the occurrence of body image disturbance in BED, no review has yet summarized and integrated these findings. Therefore, the present paper reviews studies on the cognitive-affective, perceptual and behavioural components of body image. Many of the reviewed studies reveal that individuals with BED display a higher degree of weight and shape concerns than obese persons without BED. Concerning the perceptual component, no evidence exists to date that persons with and without BED differ in terms of the perception of their own body size. While many studies have examined the cognitive-affective body image component, research on the behavioural manifestations of body image disturbance is generally lacking. However, there is first evidence that persons with BED display an enhanced degree of body checking and avoidance. The results of this review indicate that body image disturbance seems to be a symptom of BED but which still requires further exploration.
