Objective. To study health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in obese presurgery patients with binge eating disorder (BED) and with subdiagnostic binge eating disorder (SBED) compared to patients without eating disorders or SBED.Method. Participants were patients referred to St. Olavs University Hospital, Norway, for bariatric surgery. Eating Disorders in Obesity (EDO) questionnaire was used to diagnose BED and SBED. Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) assessed health-related quality of life. Questionnaires were returned by 160 of 209 patients. The present study sample consisted of 143 patients (103 women and 40 men) as 17 patients did not complete the SF-12.Results. Patients with BED and patients with SBED both had significantly lower mental HRQoL, but not physical HRQoL, compared to patients without eating disorders.Discussion. The findings indicate that obese presurgery patients with BED, and also SBED, may have special treatment needs in regard to their mental health.

Abstract Background: Health-related quality of life is severely affected in patients with anorexia nervosa due to both physical and psychological consequences of the disease, but it is still uncertain whether the same factors affect both clinical outcome and quality of life. It is also unknown whether there are differences between patients and controls in terms of self-reported physical, psychological and social well-being. Methods: Women with anorexia nervosa were recruited from specialized eating disorder centers in the five regions of Denmark. Healthy, normal-weight controls were invited via online social media to participate in the study. Six questionnaires including study characteristics, quality of life, eating disorder symptomatology, depression, work and social adjustment and psychological well-being were completed online by all participants. Results: 211 women with anorexia nervosa and 199 controls participated in the study. Women with anorexia nervosa reported significantly lower quality of life, both in terms of disease-specific HRQoL using the Eating Disorders Quality of Life Scale and on measures of general health, psychological well-being, and work functioning. Psychological and cognitive factors were highly associated with poor quality of life (p-value<0.05). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that attention to and management of disordered self-assessment and thought processes may be of special importance to women with anorexia nervosa and their families. It is possible that greater emphasis on such aspects alongside weight gain could enhance patient-clinician alliance and contribute to better treatment outcomes.
