“…This figure is likely to be closer to 1.7% using the broadened DSM-5 diagnostic criteria [8]. Most cases occur in females, with heritability estimates from twin studies at 48-88%, and a ten-fold risk of AN in first degree relatives of an affected proband [9,10].…”

“…Nowadays eating disorders (EDs) are one of the most important public health problems in the world (Smink, van Hoeken, Oldehinkel, & Hoek, 2014;Swason, Crow, Le Grange, Swendsen, & Merikangas, 2011). The empirical literature in this area has especially examined the link between parental EDs and children's mental health (Taborelli et al, 2015;Watkins, Cooper, & Lask, 2012).…”

International literature has studied the role of parental eating disorder (ED) on children development, highlighting that it constitutes a relevant risk factor for the onset of offspring's emotionalbehavioural problems. Limited attention has been given to parental Binge Eating Disorder (BED) and its impact on offspring's psychopathology. Thus, further investigations of this clinical manifestation as possible predictor of offspring's psychopathology are needed. The present study aimed to assess the maladaptive outcomes in children of parents with psychopathological risk and psychiatric diagnoses.Specifically, we intended to verify whether offspring of parents who were both diagnosed with BED showed higher affective and behavioural problems, compared with their peers with only one parent diagnosed with BED. We conducted a longitudinal study (T1 18 months old children; T2 36 months old children) on a sample of 100 Italian couple of parents and children (N total = 300), divided into three groups based on the presence of BED diagnosis. Group A, diagnosis in both parents; Group B, diagnosis only in the mothers; Group C, diagnosis only in the fathers. The presence of BED in one or both parents was associated with the emotional and behavioural development in offspring. Particularly, the diagnosis of BED in both parents had a direct effect on infants' affective problems. The offspring of parents diagnosed with BED were more likely to manifest emotional and behavioural difficulties and psychiatric symptoms within the first three years of life.

“…Furthermore they experimented a sense of lack of control over eating, and they are in distress about binge eating (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Several studies underlined that severe proportions among adolescents reported unhealthy eating behaviors, such as BED (Smink, van Hoeken, Oldehinkel, & Hoek, 2014). This data was followed by a growing scientific interest in BED, but few studies have investigated the role of the variables involved in the diagnosis of the disorder in adolescent populations.…”

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is a disorder, recently included in DSM-5, often present in adolescence. Several studies highlight that adolescents with BED had high levels of impulsivity and alexithymia. Even though studies have underlined the importance of these variables, no studies have investigated their role on adolescents' emotional-behavioral functioning. This study proposes to verify if adolescents affected by BED show higher levels of alexithymia and impulsivity than adolescents without diagnosis, and what is their role on adolescents' emotional-behavioral functioning. Thanks to the collaboration with clinical centers for eating disorders, a group composed by 60 adolescents diagnosed with BED was paired to a 60 healthy controls. Participants completed validated self-report questionnaires investigating levels of alexithymia, impulsivity and emotional-behavioral functioning. Adolescents diagnosed with BED showed higher scores on alexithymia, impulsivity and maladaptive emotionalbehavioral functioning than healthy controls. Moreover, alexithymia had a mediating effect on the relationship between impulsivity and emotional-behavioral functioning. These results show that alexithymia is a key variable influencing the emotional-behavioral functioning of adolescents affected by BED. Further studies are needed to also check other variables that might lead to the onset of BED. On the other hand, our findings can help clinicians suggesting the importance of promoting prevention and treatment polices focused on alexithymia.
