Loss of control (LOC) eating in youth is associated cross-sectionally with eating-related and psychosocial distress predictive excessive weight gain. However, few longitudinal studies have examined the psychological impact persistence pediatric LOC eating. We administered Eating Disorder Examination self-reported measures depressive anxiety symptoms to 195 boys girls (mean age = 10.4 years, SD 1.5) at baseline again 4.7 years (SD 1.2) later 118 these youth. Missing data were imputed....
The subjective experience of loss control (LOC) during eating, independent overeating, may be a salient marker disordered eating and risk for overweight in youth. However, few studies have directly tested this notion an adequately powered sample.Three-hundred-sixty-seven youth (M ± SD age = 12.7 2.8 y) were categorized as reporting objective binge (OBE; 12.5%), (SBE; 11.4%), overeating without LOC (OO; 18.5%), or no episodes (NE; 57.5%). Disordered attitudes, general psychopathology,...
Context: The effect of obesity and concomitant insulin resistance on pubertal development is incompletely elucidated. Objective: To determine how measures adiposity are associated with maturation in boys girls. Setting Design: Breast pubic hair Tanner stage testicular volume by orchidometry were determined physical examination 1066 children. Ovarian was estimated trans-abdominal ultrasound. Fat mass, skeletal age, fasting serum for glucose, total T, estradiol, estrone,...
This study examined how parent—adolescent relationship qualities and adolescents’ representations of relationships with parents were related to interactions in 200 adolescent—close friend dyads. Adolescents friends observed discussing problems during a series structured tasks. Negative mothers significantly greater conflict friends, poorer focus on tasks, communication skills. Security working models (as assessed by interview) was associated friendship interactions, whereas security...
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether having childhood depressive symptoms is a risk factor that prospectively predicts impairment in glucose homeostasis. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A non–treatment-seeking sample 115 children (aged 5–13 years), oversampled for being at adult obesity, assessed baseline and again ~6 years later. Children self-reported using the Children’s Depression Inventory baseline. Insulin resistance follow-up with homeostasis model assessment...
ABSTRACT Objective Adolescent emotional‐eating, referring to eating in response negative affective states, is frequently reported by those with loss of control (LOC) eating. Although LOC has been shown predict exacerbated disordered and excess weight/adiposity gain, the extent which either alone or combination LOC, predicts adverse outcomes not determined. Thus, we examined associations baseline emotional‐eating changes eating, BMI, adiposity over 1‐year, what degree presence absence...
Adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have elevated eating disorder risk. No studies examined weight stigma as a potential factor associated disordered eating. This study investigated cross-sectional associations among weight-based victimization, bias internalization, and in adolescents T1D. (12–17 years; N = 166) self-reported experiences of victimization from peers, family members, healthcare professionals. The Weight Bias Internalization Scale (WBIS) Diabetes Eating Problems Survey...
Objective: Adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have risk for elevated negative affect, and mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) may be effective interventions. The aim of this case series was to (1) highlight individual changes in affect (depression, anxiety, stress), mindfulness, outcomes (diabetes distress, self-management, HbA1c) after participating an MBI (2) the utility historically marginalized populations. Methods: Cases were chosen from a sample adolescents T1D who took part...
Symptoms of psychological distress have been linked to low insulin sensitivity in adults; however, little is known about this relationship pediatric samples. We therefore examined symptoms depression and anxiety relation adolescents.Participants were 136 non-treatment-seeking, healthy adolescents (53.2% female) all weight strata (BMI-z = 1.08 +/- 1.08) between the ages 12 18 years (M 15.16,SD 1.55). Adolescents completed questionnaire measures assessing symptoms. Fasting blood samples for...
We used latent profile analysis (LPA) to classify children and adolescents into subtypes based on the overlap of disinhibited eating behaviors-eating in absence hunger, emotional eating, subjective objective binge eating.
Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) prevents weight gain in adults with obesity and binge-eating-disorder, is especially effective among those increased psychosocial problems. However, IPT was not superior to health education (HE) prevent excess at 1-year follow-up 113 adolescent girls high-risk for because of loss-of-control eating high body mass index (BMI; kg/m2; Tanofsky-Kraff et al., 2014).
