Association Between Oxytocin Receptor Genotype, Maternal Care, and Eating Disorder Behaviours in a Community Sample of Women
This study aimed to investigate associations between oxytocin receptor gene (OXT‐R) polymorphisms (rs53576 and rs2254298), their interaction with maternal care (GxE), and ED behaviours in a community sample. We studied 3698 women from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) who participated in a two‐phase prevalence study of lifetime ED and had genotype data. The GG rs53576 genotype was associated with binge eating and purging, and the rs2254298 AG/AA genotype with restrictive eating lifetime. In addition, the rs2254298 AG/AA genotype interacted with poor maternal care to increase the odds of binge...

Identity Processes and Statuses in Patients with and without Eating Disorders
Abstract
Problems with identity formation are associated with a range of psychiatric disorders. Yet, the mechanisms underlying such problems and how they are refined into specific diagnostic presentations require further investigation. The present study investigated identity processes among 123 women with eating disorders (ED) and age‐matched community controls via a newly developed identity model. Several clinical outcome variables were assessed. Patients with ED scored lower on committing to and identifying with identity‐related choices and scored higher on maladaptive or ruminative exploration, identity diffusion an...

Influence of Parental Expressed Emotions on Children's Emotional Eating via Children's Negative Urgency
Abstract
We investigated whether parental expressed emotion (criticism and emotional overinvolvement) is related to children's emotional eating and whether this relationship is mediated by children's negative urgency. One hundred children, aged 8 to 13 years, either healthy or have binge‐eating disorder and/or attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder, completed the questionnaires, along with their parents. Parental criticism and, to a lesser extent, parental emotional overinvolvement were both positively related to children's emotional eating, and this relationship was mediated by children's negative urgency. Further...

Differences in Cortisol Awakening Response between Binge ‐Purging and Restrictive Patients with Anorexia Nervosa
Abstract
Malnutrition and childhood trauma were shown to affect in opposite way the cortisol awakening response (CAR) of patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). To assess the influence of binge‐purging behaviour on the CAR of AN patients, we measured the CAR of restrictive AN (ANR) or binge‐purging AN (ANBP) patients without history of childhood maltreatment. Seventeen ANBP women, 18 ANR women and 42 healthy women collected saliva samples at awakening and after 15, 30 and 60 min, and filled in the Eating Disorder Inventory‐2 (EDI‐2). ANR and ANBP patients exhibited a CAR significantly higher than healthy women. More...

Predicting Dropout from Intensive Outpatient Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Binge Eating Disorder Using Pre ‐treatment Characteristics: A Naturalistic Study
DiscussionThis is one of the first studies investigating pre‐treatment predictors for dropout in BED treatment. The total explained variance of the prediction model was low, yet the model correctly classified 80.6% of cases, which is comparable to other dropout studies in eating disorders.

Food Addiction in Bulimia Nervosa: Clinical Correlates and Association with Response to a Brief Psychoeducational Intervention

Self ‐Discrepancy and Eating Disorder Symptoms Across Eating Disorder Diagnostic Groups
This study examined self‐discrepancy, a construct of theoretical relevance to eating disorder (ED) psychopathology, across different types of EDs. Individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN; n = 112), bulimia nervosa (BN; n = 72), and binge eating disorder (BED; n = 199) completed semi‐structured interviews assessing specific types of self‐discrepancies. Results revealed that actual:ideal (A:I) discrepancy was positively associated with AN, actual:ought (A:O) discrepancy was positively associated with BN and BED, and self‐discrepancies did not differentiate BN from BED. Across diagnoses, A:O discrepancy was ...

A Lack of Clinical Effect of High ‐frequency rTMS to Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex on Bulimic Symptoms: A Randomised, Double‐blind Trial
Abstract
Studies suggest that stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) reduces food craving in bulimic patients, but evidence supporting repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a therapeutic tool is lacking. We investigated the safety and therapeutic efficacy of an adjunct high‐frequency rTMS programme targeting the left DLPFC. Forty‐seven women with bulimia nervosa were randomised to a real or sham stimulation group. The real group underwent 10 rTMS sessions, each consisting of 20 trains of 5 seconds with 55‐second intervals between trains, at a frequency of 10 Hz. The main o...

Enduring Changes in Decision Making in Patients with Full Remission from Anorexia Nervosa
ConclusionsThese findings uphold that enduring remission from AN can reverse decision‐making impairments, and they might be most likely explained by clinical state rather than a trait vulnerability.

Food Addiction and Bulimia Nervosa: New Data Based on the Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0
Abstract
Previous research on ‘food addiction’ as measured with the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS) showed a large overlap between addiction‐like eating and bulimia nervosa. Most recently, a revised version of the YFAS has been developed according to the changes made in the diagnostic criteria for substance use disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders fifth edition. The current study examined prevalence and correlates of the YFAS2.0 in individuals with bulimia (n = 115) and controls (n = 341). Ninety‐six per cent of participants with bulimia and 14% of controls received a YFAS2...

Cardiac Risk and Disordered Eating: Decreased R Wave Amplitude in Women with Bulimia Nervosa and Women with Subclinical Binge/Purge Symptoms
Abstract
The purpose of the present study was threefold. First, we examined whether women with bulimia nervosa (n = 12) and women with subthreshold binge/purge symptoms (n = 20) showed decreased mean R wave amplitude, an indicator of cardiac risk, on electrocardiograph compared to asymptomatic women (n = 20). Second, we examined whether this marker was pervasive across experimental paradigms, including before and after sympathetic challenge tasks. Third, we investigated behavioural predictors of this marker, including binge frequency and purge frequency assessed by subtype (dietary restriction, excessive exerci...

What's in a Self ‐report? A Comparison of Pregnant Women with Self‐reported and Hospital Diagnosed Eating Disorder
Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine how similar pregnant women with self‐reported lifetime eating disorder (ED) were to pregnant women with a hospital diagnosis of ED. A total of 83 731 pregnant women enrolled in the Danish National Birth Cohort reported on ED, and by linkage to the Danish health registers, hospital diagnoses of ED were obtained. Characteristics of women with self‐reported ED, hospital diagnosed ED and without ED were compared using chi‐square tests, t‐test and logistic regression models with robust standard errors. In total, 4.8% women reported ED, and 0.5% had a hospital diagnosis of ...

Hair Cortisol Concentrations in Adolescent Girls with Anorexia Nervosa are Lower Compared to Healthy and Psychiatric Controls
DiscussionWe find lower HCC in AN, compared to HC and PC, respectively. Based on the relationship between HCC and BMI‐SDS across AN, HC and PC, we argue that HCC might not capture endocrine alterations because of AN pathology‐related processes but rather shows consistent relationships with BMI, which extent even to the very low range of BMI values, as present in AN patients. Alternatively, incorporation of cortisol into the hair follicle might have been compromised because of trophic hair follicle disturbances that had been reported in AN patients, previously.
