“…Clinical characteristics of patients are similar to those found in other studies (Lewinsohn et al, 2000;Patrick, 2002), apart from a later age of presentation. Few differences from the healthy population were found in habits like consumption of alcohol and other toxics.…”

et al. 2005

Objective: To describe the personal and family antecedents and clinical characteristics of patients with eating disorders (EDs) in a population of the south of Spain; to analyse the influence of lifestyles, family functioning, socioeconomic status (SES), and psychological characteristics in these processes. Design: A university-based case-control study. Setting: University Hospital (Andalusia, Spain). Subjects: A total of 120 patients with EDs and 240 controls. Interventions: SCOFF, EDI, APGAR family, and SES questionnaires. Results: In all, 67.5% of patients presented anorexia (AN), 15% bulimia (BN), and 17.5% mixed forms. EDs emerged at around 18-20 y (95% CI 17.9-19.8). Factors associated with EDs are psychiatric conditions (depression OR: 4.16, anxiety OR: 4.59), more frequent use of medication (OR: 2.26), dietary fibre (OR: 2.59), and laxatives (OR: 3.47). Toxics consumption, sport activity, SES, and family antecedents of pathology are not associated with EDs. An inverse relationship was found between family functioning and the scores in various subscales of the EDI. Conclusions: Eating disorders in Andalusia (Spain) are influenced significantly more by psychological, family, and cultural factors than by social factors.

“…Female adolescents comprise the population group with the highest rate of current disorder, the peak period of onset occurring between 16 and 18 years of age (Lewinsohn, Striegel-Moore, & Seeley, 2000;Woodside & Garfinkel, 1992). Eating disorders among males appear to be even more rare with an estimated female-to-male gender ratio of 10:1 (Garfinkel et al, 1995;Woodside et al, 2001).…”

Objective and MethodsOn April 25, 2000, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) convened a Roundtable on the Prevention of Eating Disorders to review the state of prevention science in eating disorders and formulate recommendations regarding future steps to be taken in this area of research.Results and DiscussionThis report summarizes the roundtable discussion. The discussion focused on four major areas: the state of the art of risk factors research, translational research, prevention research in related fields, and cutting‐edge efforts in eating disorder prevention.ConclusionsThe report concludes with specific recommendations. © 2002 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…A recent longitudinal study found that 18–19% of college students had clinically significant eating pathology, and 59% of those with a probable ED at baseline also reported clinically significant ED symptoms 2 years later (Zivin et al, 2009). In addition to being characterized by a chronic course, EDs are often accompanied by comorbid psychiatric conditions and contribute to significant functional impairment (Fairburn & Beglin, 1990; Heatherton, Nichols, Mahamedi, & Keel, 1995; Lewinsohn et al, 2000). Furthermore, disordered eating behavior can cause significant medical conditions including loss of bone density or osteoporosis, cardiac problems, and even death (Fairburn & Harrison, 2003; Sullivan, 1995; Treasure & Szmukler, 1995).…”

Associations Between Fear of Negative Evaluation and Eating Pathology During Intervention and 12-Month Follow-up

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Fear of negative evaluation, a core feature of social anxiety disorder, has been prospectively related to eating pathology over and above other established risk factors, suggesting that it may be an important cognitive risk factor for eating disorders. The present study examined reciprocal longitudinal relations among fear of negative evaluation and eating disorder risk factors using a female undergraduate sample (N=82) enrolled in an eating disorder prevention program. Cross-lagged panel analysis revealed that fear of negative evaluation was a determinant of subsequent body dissatisfaction and eating disorder symptoms. Fear of negative evaluation also predicted subsequent thin-ideal internalization among participants with high BMI, but not among those with low BMI. Fear of negative evaluation did not predict future dietary restraint or negative affect but was itself predicted by prior levels of thin ideal internalization, body dissatisfaction, dietary restraint, and negative affect. Findings suggest that fear of negative evaluation may be a useful target for reducing body image concerns and maladaptive eating behavior.
