“…[45][46][47][48] Similarly, the presence of eating problems in childhood and adolescence strongly predicts the development of an eating disorder in adulthood. 49 These longitudinal findings suggest that dieting may be viewed as either a risk factor for the onset of an eating disorder or as an early stage in its clinical presentation. Although most dieters never go on to develop an eating disorder, dieting is an almost universal first step in those who do eventually develop a full-syndrome eating disorder.…”

In Brief Eating disorders are more common in individuals with type 1 diabetes than in the general population. Although limited research has been conducted in this area, existing evidence shows that these conditions significantly affect the physical and emotional health of individuals with diabetes and are associated with impaired metabolic control and a high risk of medical complications, including higher mortality rates. New nomenclature was recommended at an international focus group held in Minneapolis, Minn., in September 2008. Composed of individuals with interest and expertise in eating disorders among individuals with diabetes, the group recommended that the term ED-DMT1 be used to designate those with an eating disorder and type 1 diabetes and ED-DMT2 be used for those with an eating disorder and type 2 diabetes. This article provides an overview of clinical features, consequences, and pathways of risk associated with ED-DMT1.

“…7 A prospective longitudinal study of a large nonreferred population from early childhood to young adulthood showed that picky eating, eating conflicts, struggles with food and unpleasant meals in early childhood correlate with the diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa in adolescence or young adulthood. 4,8 Other longitudinal studies, which investigated a shorter time period (from infancy to preschool age and mid-childhood), revealed homotypical continuity in 50-80% of the children with early food refusal (persistence of food refusal, selective feeding behavior, low weight) and heterotypical continuity (i.e., separation anxiety, oppositional behaviors, school phobia and social phobia). 6,9,10 These studies indicate that children with early feeding disorders are at risk not only for ongoing eating problems, but also for anxiety disorders and behavioral adjustment.…”

Objective:To evaluate over time feeding behavior and emotional-behavioral functioning in a sample of children diagnosed with Infantile Anorexia (IA) and a group of typically developing children; and to investigate the relationship between maternal psychological functioning and the children's feeding patterns and emotional-behavioral functioning. Method:Seventy-two children diagnosed with IA and 70 children in the control group were prospectively evaluated through several measures at two, five, and eight years of age. Results:Our findings revealed partial improvement in the nutritional status of the children with IA. However, they continued to show ongoing eating problems and, in addition, anxiety/depression and withdrawal, as well as rule-breaking behaviors and social problems. There were significant correlations between the children's eating problems and their emotional difficulties and their mothers' increased emotional distress and disturbed eating attitudes. Discussion:Our longitudinal study points out that the natural course of untreated IA is characterized by the persistence of difficulties in eating behavior and emotional-behavioral adjustment in both, the children and their mothers.

Objective: To examine the developmental eating trajectories of adolescents and identify psychological correlates and risk factors associated with those trajectories.Method: Seven hundred thirty-nine adolescents completed self-reported measures of eating problems, internalizing and externalizing behaviors, alcohol and drug use, peer victimization, and depression.Results: Five eating trajectories were obtained. The proportions of males and females were the same in the increasing eating problems trajectory. For both genders, internalizing and externalizing problems were identified as associated risk factors of an eating pathology and reporting at least some eating problems was associated with an increased likelihood of psychological problems. Other risk factors found only in boys were frequency of drug use, victimization, and depressive symptoms.Conclusion: Externalizing problems in girls and internalizing behaviors in boys with disordered eating should not be overlooked. Atypical eating behaviors in boys are of particular concern since it increases their risk of cooccurring psychopathology. V V C 2008 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
