Blunted Cortisol Awakening Response and Poor Self ‐Perceived Health in Informal Caregivers of People with Eating Disorders
Abstract
Caring for offspring diagnosed with eating disorders (EDs) entails being under high chronic stress, with negative consequences for health. However, most previous research has only evaluated self‐report measures of health, biological markers being poorly studied. In this regard, the evaluation of the cortisol awakening response (CAR) could add significant information about the biological basis of health disturbances in this population. The main aim of the present study was to compare CAR and self‐reported health between informal caregivers (ICs) of people with EDs and non‐caregivers. Furthermore, we explored ...

Obsessional and Eating Disorder‐related Intrusive Thoughts: Differences and Similarities Within and Between Individuals Vulnerable to OCD or to EDs
This study investigates whether individuals who are vulnerable to OCD or EDs experience more intrusions than people with no vulnerability to these disorders, and it examines the consequences of obsessional (OITs) and eating disorder (EDITs) intrusions in the same individuals, taking into account their susceptibility to OCD, EDs or neither of the two. From a sample of 922 participants, three groups were formed: risk of OCD (n = 92), risk of EDs (n = 41) and a no‐risk group (n = 100). EDITs were more frequent than OITs in the two risk groups. Within‐group comparisons showed that in the OCD‐risk group, the O...

A Meta‐analysis on Resting State High‐frequency Heart Rate Variability in Bulimia Nervosa
DiscussionFindings suggest higher vagal activity in BN at rest, particularly in unmedicated samples with lower body mass index. Potential mechanisms underlying these findings and implications for routine clinical care are discussed. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and Eating Disorders Association.

Anxiety Impacts Cognitive Inhibition in Remitted Anorexia Nervosa
DiscussionInterference control for neutral stimuli is influenced by anxiety in women with a history of AN. Anxiety is linked with greater symptom severity among AN individuals, and state anxiety may account for larger deficits seen on tasks using disorder‐specific stimuli. Future research is warranted to elucidate the nature of neuropsychological deficits in eating disorders.

Neurofeedback Against Binge Eating: A Randomized Controlled Trial in a Female Subclinical Threshold Sample
Abstract
Brain‐directed treatment techniques, such as neurofeedback, have recently been proposed as adjuncts in the treatment of eating disorders to improve therapeutic outcomes. In line with this recommendation, a cue exposure EEG‐neurofeedback protocol was developed. The present study aimed at the evaluation of the specific efficacy of neurofeedback to reduce subjective binge eating in a female subthreshold sample. A total of 75 subjects were randomized to EEG‐neurofeedback, mental imagery with a comparable treatment set‐up or a waitlist group. At post‐treatment, only EEG‐neurofeedback led to a reduced freque...

Expressive Suppression of Emotions and Overeating in Individuals with Overweight and Obesity
Abstract
Emotions have a considerable impact on eating behaviour; however, research addressing emotion regulation in obesity is rare. The present study is the first to investigate the association between emotional suppression and overeating in individuals with overweight.
In total, 314 participants including 190 individuals with obesity filled in a cross‐sectional online survey, which assessed emotional suppression, eating behaviour and psychopathology. A hierarchical linear regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with overeating.
Individuals with obesity reported more frequent overeating compare...

Internal Structure and Measurement Invariance of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) in a (Nearly) Representative Dutch Community Sample
Abstract
The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire is a widely used instrument for assessment of emotional, external and restrained eating. The aim of the present study is to (i) analyse its internal structure using exploratory structural equation modelling; (ii) to assess its measurement invariance with respect to sex, BMI, age and level of education; and (iii) to evaluate the relations of the factors with these variables. Except that women were slightly over‐represented, the sample (n = 2173) closely followed the sociodemographic characteristics of the overall Dutch population. The three theoretical factors that emer...

A Narrative Review of Outcome Studies for Residential and Partial Hospital‐based Treatment of Eating Disorders
ConclusionsImprovement at discharge may not predict long‐term outcome. Long‐term follow‐up studies were confounded by high dropout rates. While higher levels of care may be essential for reversing malnutrition, there remains a lack of controlled trials showing long‐term efficacy, particularly for residential treatment settings.

Decreased Emotional Perception in Obesity
DiscussionObese men and women scored significantly lower on most basic and mixed emotions. Non‐depressed obese subjects seem particularly affected. These new findings must be validated by further study, and longitudinal evaluation after weight loss, e.g. by bariatric surgery, will be of interest.
