Abstract
GARCIA-RODRIGUEZ, María et al. Risk of binge eating disorder (BED) in nutrition and dietetics consultations and its relationship with eating pattern. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.6, pp.1325-1332. Epub Feb 20, 2023. ISSN 1699-5198. https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.4049.
Introduction:
evidence has shown a relationship between obesity and binge eating disorder (BED) as well as differences in dietary pattern. The objective was to establish the risk of BED in NUTRITION and dietetics consultations (N&D) and its relationship with dietary pattern.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study in 113 people who attended the N&D clinic to lose weight. They completed the BES questionnaire, a food consumption frequency questionnaire, and anthropometric measurements were taken. A descriptive analysis of the variables was performed, and an attempt was made to establish a relationship between the different explanatory variables and risk of BED.
Results:
35.3 % of subjects were at risk for BED. The variables that showed significant differences for risk of BED were sex (p = 0.047), BMI (p < 0.001), previous diagnosis of eating disorder (p = 0.002), cabrohydrate intake higher than recommendations (p < 0.001), and protein intake lower or equal than recommendations (p < 0.001). In the adjusted logistic regression model the variables finally included were BMI, OR = 1.2 (95 % CI, 0.8-1.4, p = 0.02), cabrohydrate intake higher than recommendations, OR = 1.4 (95 % CI, 0.1-2.8, p = 0.02), and protein intake lower or equal than recommendations, OR = 1.2 (95 % CI, 0.4-4.1, p = 0.04).
Conclusion:
the risk of BED in overweight patients who come to consult for weight loss is high. There is a relationship between this risk and dietary pattern. Other similar studies are required.
