“…Only black men reported a significantly lower occurrence of BED. 36 Other studies have found that minority and white women with BED did not differ on measures of disordered eating, 37 and that both groups experienced similar levels of clinical impairments in functioning. 38 …”

OBJECTIVE: Binge eating disorder (BED) and the night eating syndrome (NES) have been linked to obesity. This review summarizes their characteristics, implications of their diagnoses and treatment outcomes. METHOD: Selective review of the literature on BED and NES. RESULTS: BED was proposed as a distinctive disorder on the basis of two large multisite studies in the early 1990s. It is associated with more severe and earlier onset of obesity, earlier onset of dieting and greater psychopathology. It shows large placebo responses and reduction of bingeing in patients on waiting-list controls. Traditional weight reduction programs reduce bingeing at least as well as psychological treatments designed for this purpose. NES is a stress-related eating, sleeping and mood disorder that is associated with disordered neuroendocrine function. It follows a characteristic circadian pattern and has responded to an agent that enhances serotonin function. CONCLUSIONS: BED responds well to weight reduction programs. It is proposed that this diagnosis be used as a marker for psychological problems that deserve treatment in their own right. NES is an eating, sleep, and mood disorder with distinctive behavioral and neuroendocrine characteristics. Studies of treatment for NES are in their infancy but selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) show promise.

“…Binge episodes, diagnostic features of several eating disorders, typically involve palatable foods rich in sugar and fat and a 'loss of control ' (American Psychiatric Association, 2000;Corwin and Buda-Levin, 2004;Yanovski, 2003). Binge eating is more prevalent in obese individuals and, conversely, binge eaters are frequently obese (Pike et al, 2001;Smith et al, 1998). Accordingly, binge eating is a hypothesized etiologic risk factor for obesity (Hudson et al, 2007).…”

Binge eating and an increased role for palatability in determining food intake are abnormal adaptations in feeding behavior linked to eating disorders and body weight dysregulation. The present study tested the hypothesis that rats with limited access to highly preferred food would develop analogous opioid-dependent learned adaptations in feeding behavior, with associated changes in metabolism and anxiety-like behavior. For this purpose, adolescent female Wistar rats were daily food deprived (2 h) and then offered 10-min access to a feeder containing chow followed sequentially by 10-min access to a different feeder containing either chow (chow/chow; n ¼ 7) or a highly preferred, but macronutrient-comparable, sucrose-rich diet (chow/preferred; n ¼ 8). Chow/preferred-fed rats developed binge-like hyperphagia of preferred diet from the second feeder and anticipatory chow hypophagia from the first feeder with a time course suggesting associative learning. The feeding adaptations were dissociable in onset, across individuals, and in their dose-response to the opioid-receptor antagonist nalmefene, suggesting that they represent distinct palatability-motivated processes. Chow/preferred-fed rats showed increased anxiety-like behavior in relation to their propensity to binge as well as increased feed efficiency, body weight, and visceral adiposity. Chow/preferred-fed rats also had increased circulating leptin levels and decreased growth hormone and 'active' ghrelin levels. Thus, the short-term control of food intake in rats with restricted access to highly preferred foods comes to rely more on hedonic, rather than nutritional, properties of food, through associative learning mechanisms. Such rats show changes in ingestive, metabolic, endocrine, and anxiety-related measures, which resemble features of binge eating disorders or obesity.

“…13 Binge eating has been linked with greater degree of overweight in community samples and in clinical samples. 14,15 It has also been associated with poorer weight loss treatment outcomes, 16,17 although small sample sizes and restricted samples have limited the generalizability of these findings. Data are particularly lacking on binge eating and weight loss outcomes in men, who are severely under-represented in most studies.…”

Binge eating disorder, weight control self-efficacy, and depression in overweight men and women

et al. 2004

OBJECTIVE:To examine binge eating, depression, weight self-efficacy, and weight control success among obese individuals seeking treatment in a managed care organization. DESIGN: Gender-stratified analyses of associations between binge eating, depression, weight self-efficacy, and weight change, using data from a randomized clinical trial that compared low-cost telephone-based, mail-based, and usual care interventions for weight loss. SUBJECTS: A total of 1632 overweight individuals (460 men, 1172 women; mean age: 50.7 y; mean body mass index: 34.2 kg/ m 2 ) were recruited from a large Midwestern US managed care organization. MEASUREMENTS: Height and weight were measured by study personnel at baseline, and self-reported weight was assessed at 6 and 12 months; self-reported depression status, binge eating, and self-efficacy for weight control were assessed at baseline. RESULTS: Lifetime prevalence rates for depression and probable binge eating disorder were high. Weight self-efficacy was inversely related to weight in both men and women. For women, depression was associated with lower weight self-efficacy and higher body weight. Women reporting depression or lower weight self-efficacy at baseline had less weight loss success at 6 and 12 months. Depression, binge eating disorder, and weight self-efficacy were not significantly associated with weight loss success in men. CONCLUSION: Negative emotional states are highly prevalent and predict poor treatment outcomes, particularly for obese women. As obese women with clinical depression typically are excluded from intervention studies, further research on how to address the intersection of obesity intervention and mood management may be warranted.
