To evaluate whether obese patients with a binge eating disorder (BED) have an altered metabolic and inflammatory profile related to their behaviors compared non-BED obese. A total of 115 White consecutively recruited underwent biochemical, anthropometrical evaluation, 75-g oral glucose tolerance test. Patients answered the Binge Eating Scale were interviewed by psychiatrist. The subsequently divided into 2 groups according diagnosis: (n = 85) BED 30). Structural equation modeling analysis...
Several studies have investigated the cognitive profile in patients with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and Bulimia (BN); on contrary few evaluated it Binge Eating Disorder (BED). The purpose of this study was to compare decision making, central coherence set-shifting between BED AN patients. A battery neuropsychological tests including Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (RCFT), Wisconsin Card Sorting (WCST), Trial Making (TMT) Hayling Sentence Completion (HSCT) were...
Alterations of the immune system are known in eating disorders (EDs), however importance cytokine balance this context has not been clarified. We compared cytokines and growth factors at opposite ends BMI ranges, 90 patients classified relation to BMI, depressive EDs comorbidities. Serum concentrations interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), vascular endothelial...
Existing research suggests that food addiction (FA) is associated with binge eating disorder (BED) and obesity, but the clinical significance of this relationship remains unclear. This study aims to investigate different profiles FA symptoms among patients who have obesity with/without BED using latent class analysis (LCA).
This study aims to evaluate the theory of mind ability in a sample obese patients with and without binge eating disorder (BED) explore correlations between emotional clinical assessments.Overall, 20 non-BED, 16 under-threshold BED 22 completed battery tests assessing social cognition psychopathology.Binge disorder, non-BED under-threshold-BED showed similar recognise others' emotions, but exhibited deficit recognising their own emotions as demonstrated by more impaired levels alexithymia...
Abstract Background This study aims to examine the underlying associations between eating, affective and metacognitive symptoms in patients with binge eating disorder (BED) through network analysis (NA) order identify key variables that may be considered target for psychotherapeutic interventions. Methods A total of 155 BED completed measures psychopathology, symptoms, emotion regulation metacognition. cross-sectional was inferred by means Gaussian Markov random field estimation using...
Food addiction (FA) has been associated with binge eating disorder (BED) and obesity at varying levels of severity treatment outcomes. Despite much debate scientific interest in FA, the mechanisms that underlie its co-occurrence both conditions are not yet well understood. In order to understand this relationship, study explores FA a clinical sample individuals BED using network analysis (NA). A total 303 patients (151 152 obesity) completed battery tests investigated psychopathology,...
Binge eating disorder (BED) carries a 6 times higher risk for obesity and accounts roughly 30% of type 2 diabetes cases. Timely identification early glycemic disturbances comprehensive treatment can impact on the likelihood associated metabolic complications overall outcome. In this study, machine learning techniques were applied to static dynamic glucose-derived measures detect BED among 281 individuals with high weight. Data from classic (2 h) extended (5 glucose load computed by multiple...
ABSTRACT Recent research highlights the role of childhood trauma in development eating disorders (EDs), suggesting that adverse experiences can disrupt emotional and cognitive development, leading to early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) interpersonal problems. EMSs are psychological structures encompassing cognition, emotions, images, bodily sensations. These hypothesized mediate relationship between ED pathology. This study aimed extend investigation how leads difficulties, mediated by EMSs....
Background: Behavioral addiction (BA) is a recent concept in psychiatry. Few studies have investigated the relationship between BA and early maladaptive schemas (EMSs). EMS core of Schema Therapy (ST). According to ST model, psychiatric disorders result from developmentof EMSs response unmet emotional needs childhood. Bach colleagues (2018) grouped 18 four domains: 1) disconnection rejection; 2) impaired autonomy performance; 3) excessive responsibility standards; 4) limits. This study aims...
Abstract Objective Suicidality in eating disorders (EDs) is high, and identification of therapeutically targetable traits associated with past, current, future suicidality considerable clinical importance. We examined overall ED subtype‐specific associations among suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, general specific aspects emotion dysregulation a large sample individuals ED, at presentation for treatment 1‐year follow‐up. Method Using registry data from 2,406 patients, scores on the...
Eating disorders commonly co-occur with gastrointestinal problems. This case-control study aimed to (a) document the prevalence of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) in eating disorders, (b) examine specific impact disordered behaviors on risk DGBI, and (c) explore current disorder psychopathology DGBI.We included 765 cases 1,240 controls. DGBI were assessed via ROME III questionnaire. Prevalences calculated across diagnoses (anorexia nervosa, bulimia multiple disorders) The association between...
Nesfatin-1 is a new anorexigenic neuropeptide involved in the regulation of hunger/satiety, eating, and affective disorders. We aimed to investigate nesfatin-1 secretion vitro, murine adipose cells, human fat samples, as well assess link between circulating levels, NUCB2 Fat Mass Obesity Gene (FTO) polymorphisms, BMI, Eating Disorders (EDs), pathological behaviors. was evaluated both normoxic fully differentiated 3T3-L1 mouse adipocytes after incubation under hypoxic conditions for 24 h....
Abstract Background Considering that specific genetic profiles, psychopathological conditions and neurobiological systems underlie human behaviours, the phenotypic differentiation of obese patients according to eating behaviours should be investigated. The aim this study was classify their compare these clusters in regard psychopathology, personality traits, neurocognitive patterns profiles. Methods A total 201 outpatients seeking weight reduction treatment underwent a dietetic visit,...
Abstract Objective The present study aimed to (a) assess and compare personological traits early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) of obese women with without binge eating disorder (BED) (b) identify the variables associated severity. Method One hundred (55 BED‐obese 45 non‐BED‐obese) completed psychopathological self‐report questionnaires. A forward stepwise linear regression analysis was performed Results Not only but also differences were evident between BED non‐BED‐obese women. severity...
We hypothesized that shifting from oral second-generation antipsychotics (SGA) to their long-acting injectable (LAI) counterpart would be beneficial for the psychopathological, cognitive, social, and general health domains in outpatients suffering schizophrenia. aimed evaluate prospective usefulness of SGA-LAI treatment by carrying out a head-to-head comparison two different medications (i.e., aripiprazole monohydrate (Ari-LAI) paliperidone palmitate 1 3 month (PP1M, PP3M)) real-world...
