“…Both types of episodes are characterized by a sense of loss of control and the perception that the eating episode is large. Because considerable data suggest that the most salient aspect of binge-eating episodes is the sense of LOC over eating [ 51 – 53 ], not objective episode size, we examined the frequencies of both OBEs and SBEs in the past 3 months.…”

Objective Bulimia nervosa (BN) is associated with loss-of-control (LOC) eating episodes that frequently occur in response to negative emotions. According to recent neurocomputational models, this link could be explained by a failure to accurately update beliefs about the body in states of high arousal. Specifically, these interoceptive inference models suggest that under-relying on signals from one’s body about sensory experience (“low sensory precision”) and/or over-relying on previously held beliefs (“excessively precise priors”) lead to inaccurate perception and maladaptive behaviors. We conducted an initial test of these core predictions of the interoceptive inference model in BN using self-report measures. Methods We compared women with BN (n = 30) and age-, BMI-, and full-scale IQ-matched controls (n = 31) on trust in sensory information from the body and two types of beliefs about what can be done to regulate high negative affect. Within the BN group, we tested interrelations among these measures and explored their associations with LOC eating frequency. Results Compared with healthy controls, the BN group reported lower levels of trust in sensory information and stronger beliefs that once upset, there is little one can do, apart from eating, to self-regulate. These beliefs were associated with each other and with lower body trust. Beliefs about the uncontrollability of emotion were associated with more frequent subjective binge-eating episodes. Conclusions Findings provide initial support for the core predictions of an interoceptive inference account of BN: low trust in sensory information (“sensory precision”) may promote an overreliance on maladaptive “prior beliefs” about the effects of eating on negative emotions, ultimately interfering with accurate updating of beliefs about other strategies that could regulate emotions and maintain LOC eating. Low body trust, strong expectations about emotions, and their neurocomputational underpinnings could be promising combined treatment targets for BN.

“…A study of 10- to 11-year old children from the ABCD Study, a large, diverse, population-based sample, estimated the prevalence of BED to be 1.1% [ 30 ]. In addition, a population-based study of 14 year old early adolescents found a 14% prevalence rate of subclinical binge-eating behaviors [ 31 ]. Second, early adolescents experience racism and discrimination at unacceptable rates; a recent study estimated that 4.8% of 10- to 11- year old children reported being treated unfairly because of their race, ethnicity or color, and 10% of Black children reported experiencing racism [ 32 ].…”

Background Racial and ethnic discrimination are known stressors and are associated with negative psychological and physical health outcomes. Previous studies have found relationships between racial/ethnic discrimination and binge-eating disorder (BED), though they have mainly focused on adult populations. The aim of this study was to determine associations between racial/ethnic discrimination and BED in a large, national cohort study of early adolescents. We further sought to explore associations between the racial/ethnic discrimination perpetrator (students, teachers, or other adults) and BED. Methods We analyzed cross-sectional data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (N = 11,075, 2018–2020). Logistic regression analyses examined associations between self-reported experiences of racial or ethnic discrimination and binge-eating behaviors and diagnosis, adjusting for potential confounders. Racial/ethnic discrimination measures were assessed based on the Perceived Discrimination Scale, which measures experiences of discrimination based on race/ethnicity and frequency of ethnic discrimination by teachers, adults outside of school, and students. Binge-eating behaviors and diagnosis were based on the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (KSAD-5). Results In this racially diverse sample of adolescents (N = 11,075, age range 9–12 years), 4.7% of adolescents reported racial or ethnic discrimination and 1.1% met the criteria for BED. In the adjusted models, racial/ethnic discrimination was associated with 3 times higher odds of having BED (OR 3.31, CI 1.66–7.74). Further, experiences of ethnic discrimination by students and adults outside school were associated with significantly increased odds of BED diagnosis (OR 1.36, CI 1.10–1.68 and OR 1.42 CI 1.06–1.90, respectively)., Increased odds of binge eating behaviors were only significantly associated with ethnic discrimination perpetuated by students (OR 1.12, CI 1.02–1.23). Conclusions Children and adolescents who have experienced racial/ethnic discrimination, particularly when discrimination was perpetuated by other students, have higher odds of having binge-eating behaviors and diagnoses. Clinicians may consider screening for racial discrimination and providing anti-racist, trauma-informed care when evaluating and treating patients for BED.

“…In addition, a population-based study showed that 452 (12.6%) young adolescents reported subclinical binge eating symptoms. Those who reported loss of eating control and binge eating exhibited compensatory primary behaviors (e.g., hiding or throwing away food, skipping meals) (Derks et al, 2022). About 13% of adolescents in the general population reported at least one episode of binge eating each week (Bentley et al, 2015).…”

Binge eating behavior is described as a state of loss of control over eating large amounts of food compared to a normal person over a period of time. Binge eating behavior is found to be common among adolescents and has become a public health problem with substantial physical and mental health impacts and increases with age. In Indonesia, research on binge eating is relatively rare so that it cannot describe the prevalence of binge eating in general. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship of self-esteem, eating restrictions, BMI, and emotional regulation to binge eating behavior. This research uses a quantitative method with a cross-sectional study. The sample in the study amounted to 346 participants. Data collection techniques using the Modified BES (Binge Eating Scale) questionnaire, DERS-SF (Difficulty Emotional Regulation -Short Form), RSES (Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale), and eating restriction questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. The results of this study showed that there was a significant relationship between binge eating and self-esteem (p=0.02), emotional regulation (p=0.00), and eating restriction (p=0.02). Multivariate analysis showed that eating restriction had the strongest relationship (p=0.02). This study can be concluded that emotion regulation, self-esteem, and eating restriction are risk factors for binge eating behavior and eating restriction is the strongest factor. BMI Z-score showed a negative correlation with the incidence of binge eating in adolescents. Suggestion: It is expected that schools can provide emotional assistance through counseling guidance to students both related to mental health and knowledge about eating behavior and proper diet.
