Early identification of potentially harmful eating patterns is critical in the effective remediation of such behaviors. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the degree lo which various factors including gender, family history, and athletic status predict disordered eating behavior; social physique anxiety and percent body fat were added as potential predictor variables. The eating behaviors of student-athletes and nonathlete students were also compared. One hundred eighty undergraduate students (males = 49, females =131) provided demographic information and completed the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) and the Social Physique Anxiety Scale (SPAS). Stepwise multiple-regression analysis indicated that social physique anxiety, gender, and body fat (%Fat) combined to predict 34% of disordered eating behaviors: EAT = 0.921 SPA - 1.05 %Fat + 10.95 Gender (1 = M. 2 = F) - 17.82 (R2 = .34, SE = 4.68). A one-way ANOVA comparing ihe eating behaviors of athletes and nonathletes revealed no significant difference between these groups.

Abstract Objectives Examine the relationship between household food insecurity (HFS; i.e., access to nutritionally adequate and safe food) and disordered eating behaviors (i.e., restriction, bingeing, insulin manipulation, etc.) among a sample of young adults with youth-onset type 1 (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods We used cross-sectional data from the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study. Individuals (n = 792) ages ≥18 years completed the U.S. Household Food Security Survey Module and the Diabetes Eating Problem Survey-Revised (DEPS-R) between 2016 and 2019. We converted HFS scores to a 10-point scale and dichotomized scores into food secure (HFS ≤ 2.2) vs. food insecure (HFS > 2.2). Multivariable linear regression was used to evaluate the association of HFS with continuous DEPS-R score (i.e., 0–80, with a greater score indicating greater symptoms of disordered eating), adjusting for potential confounders (i.e., sex, age, race/ethnicity, education, household income, insurance, depressive symptoms, and duration of diabetes). We further stratified analyses by diabetes type. Results Participants were on average 23.8 ± 3.7 years, 59.6% female, 49.6% non-Latino white, and had a mean diabetes duration of 11.5 ± 3.1 years. The overall mean DEPS-R score was 17.3 ± 10.0 points. Mean DEPS-R scores in individuals living in food secure households (n = 709) and food insecure households (n = 83) were 16.6 ± 9.45 and 23.4 ± 12.4, respectively. The adjusted DEPS-R scores were 3.6 points (95% CI = 1.5, 5.7; P < 0.001) higher in food insecure compared to food secure households. In individuals with T1D (n = 600), the adjusted DEPS-R scores were 5.0 points (95% CI = 2.6, 7.4; P < 0.001) higher in food insecure (n = 55) compared to food secure (n = 545) households. In individuals with T2D (n = 192), there was no significant difference in mean DEPS-R scores between food insecure (n = 28) versus food secure (n = 164) households in unadjusted or adjusted models (P > 0.05). Conclusions Lower household food security in young adults with T1D, but not T2D, is associated with increased disordered eating scores. These results may allow clinicians and other public health professionals to target individuals with low household food security as being at higher risk for potential disordered eating, particularly those with T1D.

This study investigated the direct and indirect effects of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors in predicting disordered eating behaviors in girls with overweight/obesity. A total of 135 Hispanic and African American girls ([Formula: see text] = 11.13 ± 1.54 years) completed surveys assessing the desire to be thinner, peer weight-related teasing, disordered eating behaviors, and demographic characteristics. Percent body fat was assessed. Structural equation modeling was conducted to examine the influence of the desire to be thinner and peer weight-related teasing on percent body fat and disordered eating behaviors. Results indicated that percent body fat was directly related to the desire to be thinner ( p < .01) and peer weight-related teasing ( p < .01), and was indirectly related to disordered eating through its relationship with peer teasing ( p < .05). These findings may be useful in guiding the design of interventions preventing the development of disordered eating behaviors in minority girls.

The Relationship

IntroductionIn a recent study developed with a community sample, we have found that although PNT mediated the relationship between perfectionist cognitions and bulimic behavior, the effect of perfectionism on other disordered eating dimensions, such as diet, was independent of the PNT levels (Monteiro et al., 2015).ObjectiveTo investigate if PNT mediates the relationship between perfectionism and disordered eating behaviors in a clinical sample.MethodsFifty-two patients with eating disorders/ED (mean age = 22.54 ± 7.637; mean BMI = 20.07 ± 4.192; 14.5% Anorexia Nervosa cases; 7.8% Bulimia Nervosa and 9.0% EDNOS) were assessed with the ED section of the Diagnostic Interview for Genetic Studies and fill in the Portuguese validated versions of Eating Attitudes Test/EAT-25 (to evaluate Bulimic behaviors/BB, Diet and Social pressure to eat), Multidimensional Perfectionism Scales (to evaluate perfectionism composite dimensions Evaluative Concerns/EC and Perfectionistic Strivings/PS) and Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire/PTQ-15 (to evaluate Repetitive Thought/RT, Cognitive interference and unproductiveness/CIU). Only variables significantly correlated with the outcomes (EAT-25_Total and its dimensions) were entered in the regression models. Mediation analyses using Preacher and Hayes bootstrapping methodology were performed.ResultsEC, PS, CIU and RT were significant predictors of EAT_Total. PA, CIU and PR were significant predictors of BB. EC and PS were significant predictors of Diet. CIU partially mediated the relationship between EC and EAT_Total (95% CI = 0.0025–0.3296) and between EC and BB (95% CI = 0.0037–0.1877).ConclusionAlso in a clinical sample, CII, the most pernicious dimension of PNT, mediates the relationship between perfectionism and disordered eating behavior, particularly bulimic behavior; diet is predicted by perfectionism independently of PNT.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

The Relationship

Weight-conscious drinking is the use of disordered eating behaviors in anticipation of or as compensation for calories consumed during alcohol use. The aim of the current study is to assess the relationship between weight-conscious drinking, athletic status, and sport type. Participants were 295 college students (82 male and 213 female; Mage = 20.10) from a midsized Midwestern university. Participants completed an online survey that included items assessing alcohol consumption, the Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index (RAPI), the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26), and the Compensatory Eating and Behaviors in Response to Alcohol Consumption Scale (CEBRACS). In comparison with nonathletes, student-athletes had lower EAT-26 and CEBRACS scores; RAPI scores did not differ between the two groups. Lean-sport athletes differed concerning CEBRACS diet/exercise subscales in comparison with nonlean-sport athletes.

The Relationship

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the relationship between food addiction and uncontrolled eating, cognitive restraint, and emotional eating. Methods: We carried out this study with 1168 students (758 girls and 410 boys) studying at 7 different high schools in Ankara, Turkey. We used 3 measures. The first measure part assessed the participants’ demographic characteristics. We used 2 other validated measures, the Yale Food Addiction Scale and the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire, to assess disordered eating behaviors. Results: No statistically significant difference was found between girls (12.9%) and boys (12%) in terms of food addiction (p = .67). We found that uncontrolled eating (p < .001), cognitive restraint (p = .007), and emotional eating (p < .001) scores were higher in individuals with food addiction (60.50±22.37; 38.39±24.41 and 57.42±28.49 respectively) than those without food addiction (40.17±24.74; 32.36±25.4 and 31.11±29.46 respectively). Furthermore, these eating behaviors increased the risk of food addiction in adolescents [Uncontrolled eating: OR: 1.02 (1.01-1.03); Cognitive Restraint: OR: 1.01 (1.00-1.02); Emotional Eating: OR: 1.016(1.009-1.024)]. Conclusions: Disordered eating behaviors can be seen more frequently among adolescents with food addiction compared to those without. In addition, these eating behaviors can increase the risk of food addiction relatively.

The Relationship

Previous research exploring the relationship between muscle dysmorphia, drive for muscularity, and disordered eating behaviors in relation to personality characteristics, particularly narcissism, has yielded interesting, though often conflictual, results. This study explores these relationships through assessing muscle dysmorphia, drive for muscularity, and disordered eating in relation to grandiose and hypersensitive narcissism. Participants included 173 male college students who were recruited via departmental Study Board. Participants completed demographic information, the Narcissistic Personality Inventory-40, the Hypersensitive Narcissism Scale, the Muscle Dysmorphia Questionnaire, the Drive for Muscularity Scale, and the Eating Attitudes Test-26. Results indicated a positive relationship between muscle dysmorphia symptomatology and hypersensitive narcissism, and positive relationships between drive for muscularity and facets of grandiose narcissism. Results indicated that disordered eating was not related to narcissism. Results provide direction for the further study of the dimensional structure of the construct of narcissism and treatment implications for those suffering from muscle dysmorphia.
