Abstract: Objective A limited literature suggests an association between parental eating disorders and child eating-disorder behaviors although this research has focused primarily on restrictive-type eating disorders and very little is known about families with binge-eating disorder. Methods The current study focused on parents (N=331; 103 fathers and 226 mothers), comparing parents with core features of binge-eating disorder (BED; n=63) to parents with obesity and no eating disorder (OB; n=85) and parents with health… Show more

“…BED is the most prevalent eating disorder associated with obesity among adults and adolescents [9,15] where the transmission of disordered eating has been illustrated in research. Parents with obesity, reporting binge-eating disorder (BED) behaviours, are significantly more likely to also report overeating, and binge-eating behaviours in their children than parents without BED behaviours [16]. Furthermore, children of mothers with overweight and obesity exhibit higher levels of emotional eating than children of healthy-weight mothers [17].…”
