“…Survivors of CPA and/or CSA were over three times more likely to be in the ‘morbidly obese’ class as opposed to the reference class. These results support those from other cross-sectional [ 27 ] and longitudinal studies [ 28 ]. Compared to the reference group, the ‘morbidly obese’ individuals were also at an elevated risk for depression, which again is in line with the existing literature, especially studies conducted with females and those with severe obesity [ 29 ].…”

PurposePrevious research suggests that childhood maltreatment is associated with the onset of eating disorders (ED). In turn, EDs are associated with alternative psychopathologies such as depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and with suicidality. Moreover, it has been reported that various ED profiles may exist. The aim of the current study was to examine the profiles of disordered eating and the associations of these with childhood maltreatment and with mental health psychopathology.MethodsThe current study utilised a representative sample of English females (N = 4206) and assessed for the presence of disordered eating profiles using Latent Class Analysis. Multinomial logistic regression was implemented to examine the associations of childhood sexual and physical abuse with the disordered eating profiles and the associations of these with PTSD, depression and suicidality.ResultsResults supported those of previous findings in that we found five latent classes of which three were regarded as disordered eating classes. Significant relationships were found between these and measures of childhood trauma and mental health outcomes.ConclusionsChildhood sexual and physical abuse increased the likelihood of membership in disordered eating classes and these in turn increased the likelihood of adverse mental health and suicidal outcomes.

“…Individuals with obesity often report childhood maltreatment, (Norman et al, 2012a; Grilo et al, 2005; Salwen, Hymowitz, Vivian, & O’Leary, 2014) and experiencing abuse increases obesity risk (Williamson, Thompson, Anda, Dietz, & Felitti, 2002; Rohde et al, 2008). However, mechanisms driving the relationship between childhood maltreatment and weight status have not been fully explicated.…”

A mediational model of obesity related disordered eating: The roles of childhood emotional abuse and self-perception

The extant literature indicates negative self-perceptions are a risk factor for disordered eating (DE) and DE is a risk factor for overweight and obesity. While childhood emotional abuse (EA) is often linked to DE and obesity, it is typically not included in comprehensive models of these health problems. Further investigation of interactions among EA, self-perception, and DE is needed to refine treatments for overweight, obesity, and DE. This study evaluated a model of DE and weight difficulties in which negative self-perception mediate the relationship between EA and DE, and DE predicts body mass index (BMI) in a population of emerging adults. Further, this study investigated the utility of history of EA for prediction of DE and classification of individuals with and without DE. Self-report questionnaires on childhood trauma, psychopathology, and eating behaviors were administered to 598 undergraduate students. Latent variable analysis confirmed the hypothesized model. Recursive partitioning determined that individuals reporting a high level of EA likely meet criteria for night eating syndrome (NES) or binge eating disorder (BED), and history of EA has a moderate to high level of specificity as a predictor of BED and NES. These findings confirm the necessity of evaluating EA and DE in emerging adults with weight difficulties, and the importance of assessing self-perception and DE in individuals with a history of EA. Future studies should investigate the utility of addressing EA and self-perception in interventions for DE and obesity and to determine whether these findings can be generalized to a clinical population.

“…2,3 It has been hypothesized that prenatal exposure to microbiome-altering agents, such as systemic antibacterials, may lead to postnatal obesity. 4,5 In humans, prenatal infection is associated with a 30% increased risk of overweight in later life, and antibiotic exposure in the neonatal period is associated with a 22% increased risk.…”
