“…Three of these studies found that ADHD symptoms were associated with an increased risk of ED. However, the odds ratio was significant after adjusting for age, sex and race, but not after adjusting for age, sex, race and psychiatric comorbidities, especially for BED (details in Table 2) [108,109]. Among psychiatric outpatients, Gorlin and colleagues (2016) [110] found higher ED prevalence for individuals diagnosed with ADHD (9.3% vs. 3.8%, p < 0.01), especially for the inattentive subtype (inattentive subtype: 10.3% individuals with an ED; OR = 3.01, 95% CI: 1.30-6.34; combined subtype: 8.1%, OR = 2.17, 95% CI: 0.90-4.68).…”

“…Two of these studies, with no control group, found a prevalence of 8.6% for BN [111], and 1.1% and 13% for any ED in ADHD patient men and women respectively [29]. Four studies with a general non-clinical population examined ED prevalence; ADHD-ED association odds ratio ranged from 1.32 (95% CI: 0.82-2.13) to 28.24 (95% CI: 6.33-126.01) [13,[107][108][109]. These associations were particularly strong for BN (up to OR = 28.24, 95% CI: 6.33-126.01) [107,109].…”

“…All publications assessing addictive-like eating symptoms in individuals with ADHD symptoms (n = 4) reported that ADHD was associated with a higher risk of addictive-like eating symptomatology: food addiction, binge eating, uncontrolled eating, significant distress in relation to food, and made him/herself be sick because he/she felt uncomfortably full [11,13,107,108] (details in Table 2). The FA prevalence rate was higher in patients with ADHD symptoms or diagnosis.…”

Negative Affectivity and Emotion Dysregulation as Mediators between ADHD and Disordered Eating: A Systematic Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is associated with disordered eating, especially addictive-like eating behavior (i.e., binge eating, food addiction, loss of control overeating). The exact mechanisms underlying this association are unclear. ADHD and addictive-like eating behavior are both associated with negative affectivity and emotion dysregulation, which we hypothesized are mediators of this relationship. The purpose of this systematic review was to review the evidence related to this hypothesis from studies assessing the relationship between childhood or adulthood ADHD symptomatology, negative affectivity, emotion dysregulation and addictive-like eating behavior. The systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations. The literature search was conducted in PubMed and PsycINFO (publication date: January 2015 to August 2020; date of search: 2nd September 2020). Out of 403 potentially relevant articles, 41 were retained; 38 publications reported that ADHD and disordered eating or addictive-like eating behavior were significantly associated, including 8 articles that suggested a mediator role of negative affectivity or emotion dysregulation. Sixteen publications reported that the association between ADHD symptomatology and disordered eating or addictive-like eating behavior differed according to gender, eating behavior and ADHD symptoms (hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention). We discuss the practical implications of these findings and directions future research.

“…Indeed, our regression models only explained around 20% of the variance in disordered eating risk. Jacob, Haro, and Koyanagi (2018) observed a positive cross-sectional relationship between ADHD scores and disordered eating risk in a nationally representative sample and found that between 28% and 42% of the association between ADHD symptoms and possible eating disorder was explained by stressful life events, anxiety, and borderline personality traits, which we did not measure in this study but could have similarly accounted for at least some of the additional variance. In addition, there could be a distinct contribution of factors related specifically to inattentive symptoms of ADHD that act independently of co-morbidities.…”

Associations between inattention and impulsivity ADHD symptoms and disordered eating risk in a community sample of young adults

et al. 2020

Background Symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and trait impulsivity have been associated with disordered eating but are seldom assessed in community studies, or longitudinally and little is known about the mediating mechanisms. Methods We tested associations between ADHD symptoms and disordered eating cross-sectionally and between trait impulsivity and disordered eating longitudinally. We utilised data from a normative cohort of young adults (642 participants: 65% female, Mage = 23 years). Participants were classified as high risk or low risk for disordered eating using the SCOFF instrument. In the first two steps of both cross-sectional and longitudinal hierarchical logistic regression models, demographics and covariates were entered. For the cross-sectional regression, Adult ADHD self-report scale (ASRS) scores, separated into inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive symptoms, were entered in the third step. In a separate longitudinal model, Barratt impulsivity scale subscales (attentional, motor and non-planning impulsivity) were entered in the third step. Depression, as assessed by the moods and feelings questionnaire (MFQ), was examined as a mediator. Results Cross-sectionally, sex, MFQ score and inattentive symptoms predicted disordered eating risk (model R2 = 20%). Longitudinally, sex, MFQ score and attentional impulsivity predicted disordered eating risk (model R2 = 16%). The relationship between inattentive symptoms and the disordered eating risk was partially mediated by MFQ score, whereas the relationship between attentional impulsivity and the disordered eating risk was fully mediated by MFQ scores. Conclusions These data highlight (1) a specific role for inattentive symptoms of ADHD and (2) the importance of both depression and impulsivity in predicting eating disorder risk.

“…U pogledu agresivnog ponašanja, pokazano je da prisutnost antisocijalnog ponašanja među odraslima koji imaju dijagnozu ADHD-a ide čak do 23% (Weiss, Hechtman, Milroy, & Perlman, 1985). Takođe, rezultati meta-analitičke studije pokazuju da su osobe sa ADHD-om pod tri puta većim rizikom za prisustvo poremećaja ishrane (Jacob, Haro, & Koyanagi, 2018). U prethodnim istraživanjima dobijeno je da su korelacije obe supskale ASRS-v1.1 s impulsivnim prejedanjem u rangu .30-.36 (Carlucci, Ivanova, Bissada, & Tasca, 2017).…”

The aim of the research is to explore the psychometric characteristics of the Serbian adaptation of the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) Symptom Checklist and Screener, as well as the Adult ADHD Self-Report Screening Scale for DSM-5 (ASRS-5). In addition to these scales, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), Dickman Impulsivity Inventory (DII) and the questions about frequency of risky behaviours (use of alcohol, cigarettes and drugs, overeating, and physical aggression) were administrated on the sample of 226 adults from the general population (43.8% males). The results of confirmatory factor analysis supported the one-factor structure of the ASRS-5. The three-factor structure had the best fit indices for the ASRS-v1.1 Symptom Checklist (inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity factors), while the two-factor structure was the best for the ASRS-v1.1 Screener (inattention and hyperactivity factors). However, there was a large profile similarity between factors, which calls into question their discriminant validity. All scales correlated significantly with dysfunctional impulsivity and aspects of psychological distress, with ASRS-5 having the largest number of correlations with risky behaviours. There were no sex differences, and correlations with age were negative. It can be concluded that, although all scales show satisfactory psychometric characteristics, ASRS-5 is the preferred one, given its clear one-dimensional structure and somewhat better validity.
