“…There is little question that eating disorder patients and overweight persons suffer from low IA as assessed by questionnaires and demonstrated in numerous cross-sectional studies in different age groups (e.g., Leon et al, 1993; Golay et al, 1997; Fassino et al, 2004; Sim and Zeman, 2004; Matsumoto et al, 2006; Clausen et al, 2011). Most studies used the subscale interoceptive awareness of the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI), a questionnaire that has become a standard tool in investigating behavioral and psychological characteristics of eating disorders in children, adolescents and adults (Garner et al, 1983; Garner, 1991, 2004).…”

Previous research indicates that interindividual differences in the ability to perceive one's own bodily signals (interoceptive sensitivity, IS) are associated with disordered eating behavior and weight problems. But representative and prospective data in children are lacking and therefore, the exact nature of these observed associations remains unclear. Data on IS measured by heartbeat perception ability in 1657 children between 6 and 11 years of age were collected on the basis of two measurement points with a year distance in time. Stability of the construct and its prospective association with different food approach behaviors [assessed via parent questionnaires (Children's Eating Behavior Questionnaire and Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire)] as well as with weight status were analyzed via structural equation modeling. Main results were that only in overweight children external and emotional eating behavior were predictive for later IS, whereas no such relation was found in normal weight children. There was no direct relation between IS and body mass index. For the first time, we could show that eating behavior and IS in middle childhood are prospectively related to each other. But surprisingly, our data indicate that altered interoceptive processes rather follow than precede non-adaptive eating behavior patterns in overweight children. This suggests a possible crucial role of faulty learning mechanisms in eating behavior early in life, undermining the later confidence in one's body.

“…Obesity is a major public health problem in developed countries, and its prevalence has steadily risen (1, 2, 3). Previous studies have shown that nutritional education combined with eating behavior therapy is necessary to improve the effectiveness of obesity treatments (4). To identify eating behaviors related to obesity and the management of body weight, questionnaires have been developed to describe human eating behaviors.…”

Eating Behaviors and Indexes of Body Composition in Men and Women from the Québec Family Study

PROVENCHER, VÉ RONIQUE, VICKY DRAPEAU, ANGELO TREMBLAY, JEAN-PIERRE DESPRÉ S, AND SIMONE LEMIEUX. Eating behaviors and indexes of body composition in men and women from the Québec Family Study. Obes Res. 2003;11:783-792. Objective: To put into relationship the dietary and anthropometric profile of men and women with their eating behaviors (cognitive dietary restraint, disinhibition, and susceptibility to hunger) and to assess whether gender and obesity status influence these associations. Research Methods and Procedures: Anthropometric measurements (including visceral adipose tissue accumulation), dietary profile (3-day food record), and eating behaviors (Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire) were determined in a sample of 244 men and 352 women. Results: Women had significantly higher cognitive dietary restraint and disinhibition scores than men (p Ͻ 0.0001). In both genders, scores for disinhibition and susceptibility to hunger, but not for cognitive dietary restraint, were higher in obese subjects than in overweight and nonobese subjects (p Ͻ 0.05). Positive correlations were observed between rigid restraint and most of the anthropometric variables studied (0.12 Յ r Յ 0.16). Moreover, in women, flexible restraint was negatively associated with body fat and waist circumference (r ϭ Ϫ0.11). Cognitive dietary restraint and rigid restraint were positively related to BMI among nonobese women (0.19 Յ r Յ 0.20), whereas in obese men, cognitive dietary restraint and flexible restraint tended to be negatively correlated with BMI (Ϫ0.20 Յ r Յ Ϫ0.22; p ϭ 0.10). Discussion: Gender could mediate associations observed between eating behaviors and anthropometric profile. It was also found that disinhibition and susceptibility to hunger are positively associated with the level of obesity. On the other hand, cognitive dietary restraint is not consistently related to body weight and adiposity, whereas rigid and flexible restraint are oppositely associated to obesity status, which suggests that it is important to differentiate the subscales of cognitive dietary restraint. Finally, counseling aimed at coping with disinhibition and susceptibility to hunger could be of benefit for the long-term treatment of obesity.

“…Most of these studies have addressed the relationship between personality pathology and either anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa (Piran et al 1988 ;Zanarini et al 1990;Herzog et al 1992;Norman et al 1993;Wiederman & Pryor, 1997 ;Goldner et al 1999). Fewer studies have examined personality disorders and traits among individuals with binge eating disorder (Yanovski et al 1993;Telch & Stice, 1998) or obesity (Berman et al 1992;Sansone et al 1996Sansone et al , 2000Golay et al 1997). It is difficult to draw conclusions from studies with regard to the comparative levels of personality pathology across bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and obesity, since they have usually examined either individual groups or only two of the three groups.…”

The prevalence of DSM-IV personality pathology among individuals with bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and obesity

et al. 2003

The study strongly indicates that personality disorder difficulties are present in patients who binge eat, while obese patients who do not binge eat display significantly less personality disorder pathology. Assessment of bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and obesity needs to address personality disorders and pathology. Dimensional markers of personality pathology can be used to supplement categorical diagnoses, providing information about the traits that underlie diagnosis.
