“…tive behaviors experienced by the children and adolescents, their body dissatisfaction and with intentional or deliberate damage to their bodies. These results are consistent with other studies reported in the literature[20] [21]. The results propose that there may be a group of children and adolescents vulnerable to the development of "extreme" behaviors of high risk for health, such as drunkenness, the use of marijuana, cocaine and glue or cement inhalation to intentionally harm themselves and binge eating.…”

The objective of the study was to evaluate the association of sociodemographic, biopsychosocial and lifestyle behaviors (diet, sedentarism and physical activity) with eating disorders (ED) in a national sample of Costa Rican children and adolescents. This was a cross-sectional and descriptive study. A total of 2667 students of elementary, middle and high school from sixty-four educative centers (40 schools and 24 high schools) of Costa Rica participated in the study. The predictive factors associated with ED are: body image dissatisfaction (β = 0.367; p < 0.001), lifetime addictive behaviors (β = 0.131; p < 0.001), to be a girl (β = 0.109; p < 0.001), intentionally hurt or harm itself (β = 0.074; p < 0.001), BMI (β = 0.053; p < 0.001), socioeconomic index (β = 0.052; p < 0.001) and sedentary behaviors (β = 0.051; p < 0.001). While the frequency of physical activity (β = −0.071; p < 0.001), the diet quality index-score (β = −0.068; p = 0.010) and the age (β = −0.064; p = 0.001) are not related with the development of ED. Psychosocial factors (body image dissatisfaction and intentionally self-injure) had the greatest influence (near 27%) of the global variance of the regression model that explained the association with ED. Programs should be promoted to monitor children and adolescents with excess weight, as well as, the coexistence of erroneous weight and body image perceptions in these population. This could protect against the development of ED in children and adolescents. Evidence-Based Medicine: Level V of evidence (descriptive study).

“…The psychological profile of obese patients is often characterized by anxious and depressive symptoms, impulsivity, insecure and poor attachment quality, low self-esteem, and body dissatisfaction ( 7 ). The presence of these psychopathological traits could lead to food consumption as a dysfunctional coping strategy in response to negative emotions, in absence of effective emotion regulation strategies, resulting in development of obesity ( 8 ). During the eligibility evaluation for bariatric surgery, emotion regulation and emotion recognition are seldom assessed, although neurobiological processes concerning self-regulation, including control over eating behaviors, are strongly influenced by emotions ( 9 ).…”

ObjectivesApproximately one-third of bariatric surgery patients experience weight regain or suboptimal weight loss within five years post-surgery. Pathological eating styles and psychopathological traits (e.g., emotion dysregulation) are recognized as potential hindrances to sustain weight loss efforts and are implicated in obesity development. A comprehensive understanding of these variables and their interplays is still lacking, despite their potential significance in developing more effective clinical interventions for bariatric patients. We investigate the prevalence of and interactions between pathological eating styles and psychopathological traits in this population.Materials and methods110 bariatric surgery candidates were characterized using the Binge Eating Scale (BES), Hamilton Depression/Anxiety Scales (HAM-D/A), Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11), Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). We analyzed these variables with multiple logistic regression analyses and network analysis.ResultsPatients with pathological eating styles showed more pronounced anxiety/depressive symptoms and emotion dysregulation. Network analysis revealed strong connections between BES and DERS, with DERS also displaying robust connections with HAM-A/D and ECR scales. DERS and attention impulsivity (BIS-11-A) emerged as the strongest nodes in the network.DiscussionOur findings demonstrate the mediating role of emotion dysregulation between pathological eating styles and psychopathological traits, supporting existing literature on the association between psychopathological traits, insecure attachment styles, and pathological eating behaviors. This research emphasizes the significance of emotion regulation in the complex network of variables contributing to obesity, and its potential impact on bariatric surgery outcomes. Interventions focusing on emotion regulation may thus lead to improved clinical outcomes for bariatric patients.
