“…37,38 Furthermore, emotion-focused and avoidance distraction coping strategies were positively related to binge eating, disordered eating attitudes, and dieting in adults, 39 mostly young women [40][41][42][43] and women with eating disorders. 44 Although deficits in emotion regulation seem to be present in samples with LOC eating, 45 it remains unclear which aspects of emotion regulation are problematic and associated with disordered eating. To our knowledge, no study has examined use of different emotion regulation strategies in children with LOC eating.…”

Objective: To examine the ability to regulate emotions in children with binge eating.Method: A community sample of 60 children ages 8-13 with at least one episode of loss of control (LOC) eating during the past 3 months and a matched control group without LOC (n 5 60) underwent a clinical interview (Eating Disorder Examination adapted for Children) and completed self-report questionnaires assessing emotion regulation strategies, eating pathology, and depressive symptoms.Results: Children with LOC eating made a significantly higher use of dysfunctional emotion regulation strategies (p \ .01), especially for the regulation of anxiety (p \ .01). Maladaptive strategies were associated with greater depressiveness (p \ .001). Use of adaptive emotion regulation strategies did not differ between children with and without LOC eating.Discussion: Results document an association between LOC eating and difficulties in regulating negative emotions in children. Interventions targeting LOC eating in children should include training for coping with negative emotions.

“…Additionally, the authors followed scoring guidelines to obtain estimates of AN symptoms, BN symptoms and global eating pathology (for scoring syntax, see Stice, Fischer, & Martinez, 2004), though instead of using cutoff criteria, these variables were viewed as continuous estimates of AN, BN, and eating pathology symptoms. The EDDS has demonstrated adequate internal consistency (α = .89; Stice et al, 2004) among female samples, and has been successfully used with college samples including both men and women (Dunn, Neighbors, & Larimer, 2003;Whiteside et al, 2007). In the current sample, internal consistency for AN and BN symptoms and global eating pathology were α = .73, α = .79, and α = .89, respectively.…”

Men remain largely underrepresented in the eating disorder literature and few studies have investigated risk factors for disordered eating among men. The current study examined associations between Big Five personality traits and eating disorder symptoms in a sample of college men (N = 144). Participants completed the Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale and Ten Item Personality Inventory online. Results suggested that openness was positively associated with purging-type behaviors and that emotional stability was positively related to symptoms of anorexia nervosa and global eating pathology. Findings highlight the prevalence of eating disorder symptoms among college men and suggest that these symptoms are associated with a different constellation of personality traits than is typically reported among women. Implications for targeted prevention and intervention programs and future research are discussed.

“…De hecho, la edad y el IMC han mostrado tener un papel relevante en los TA (p.ej., Benedito, Perpiñá, Botella, y Baños, 2003;Grilo, 2006;Fairburn, 2008). En cuanto a los síntomas depresivos y ansiosos, hay bastantes estudios que evidencian asociaciones entre la patología alimentaria y el afecto negativo (Stice, 2001;Whiteside et al, 2007). En conjunto, por tanto, nuestros datos sugieren que la presencia de síntomas TOC en personas con TA se debe primariamente a variables comunes a ambos conjuntos de trastornos (especialmente, ansiedad y depresión), y no tanto a una comorbilidad de base entre el TOC y los TA.…”

Resumen: Los trastornos alimentarios (TA) y el trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo (TOC) son entidades clínicas diferenciadas, aunque comparten elementos psicopatológicos comunes poco investigados. Nuestros objetivos son, primero, analizar en población general (n = 100) y personas con TA (n = 84) la relación entre síntomas TOC e intrusiones cognitivas de contenido alimentario, su impacto emocional, y las estrategias para controlarlas; segundo, examinar en qué medida los síntomas TOC predicen esas intrusiones. Los resultados muestran, en población general, asociaciones signifi cativas entre síntomas de TOC y frecuencia de intrusiones sobre ejercicio físico, consecuencias emocionales, valoraciones disfuncionales, y estrategias de control, que se mantienen tras controlar edad, índice de masa corporal, depresión, y ansiedad. En pacientes TA, las asociaciones con síntomas TOC única-mente se mantuvieron con consecuencias emocionales y valoraciones disfuncionales. Los resultados indican que las relaciones entre ambos trastornos se explican por la importancia otorgada a las experiencias cognitivas desagradables, y no tanto a la frecuencia con que las experimentan.Palabras clave: Trastornos alimentarios, intrusiones mentales, síntomas obsesivo-compulsivos. Osessionality and eating intrusions in patients with eating disorders and the general populationAbstract: Eating disorders (ED) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are different clinical entities, although they share psychopathological elements that have been insuffi ciently investigated. Our objectives are fi rstly to analyze, in patients with ED, relationship between OCD symptoms and cognitive intrusions with eating content, their emotional impact, and strategies for controlling them and, secondly, to examine to what extent OCD symptoms predict these intrusions in patients with ED. In the general population, results showed signifi cant associations between OCD symptoms and frequency of intrusions on physical exercise, emotional consequences, dysfunctional appraisals, and control strategies, which persisted after controlling for age, body mass index, depression, and anxiety. In ED patients, associations with OCD symptoms persisted only for emotional consequences and dysfunctional appraisals. These results indicate that the relationship between both disorders is explained by the importance that patients give to the unpleasant cognitive experiences, rather than by the frequency with which these are experienced.
