Shining the light on #eating disorders, incidence, prognosis and profiling of patients in primary and secondary care: national data linkage study
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/shining-the-light-on-eating-disorders-incidence-prognosis-and-profiling-of-patients-in-primary-and-secondary-care-national-data-linkage-study/A00E32E32B0FB324075CF2CF0973687F
Diagnosing eating disorders can be difficult and few people with the disorder receive specialist services despite the associated high morbidity and mortality.
The incidence peaked at 24 per 100 000 people in 2003/04. People with eating disorders showed higher levels of other mental disorders (odds ratio 4.32, 95% CI 4.01–4.66) and external causes of morbidity and mortality (odds ratio 2.92, 95% CI 2.44–3.50). They had greater prescription of central nervous system drugs (odds ratio 3.15, 95% CI 2.97–3.33), gastrointestinal drugs (odds ratio 2.61, 95% CI 2.45–2.79) and dietetic drugs (odds ratio 2.42, 95% CI 2.24–2.62) before diagnosis. These excess diagnoses and prescriptions remained 3 years after diagnosis. Mortality was raised compared with controls for some eating disorders, particularly in females with anorexia nervosa.
Conclusions
Incidence of diagnosed eating disorders is relatively low in the population but there is a major longer term burden in morbidity and mortality to the individual.

The relationship between #social media use and disordered #eating in young adolescents
The relationship between social media (SM) use and disordered eating (DE) has not been adequately explored in young adolescents
DE behaviors were reported by 51.7% of girls and 45.0% of boys, with strict exercise and meal skipping the most common. A total of 75.4% of girls and 69.9% of boys had at least one SM account where Instagram was the most common, used by 68.1% of girls and 61.7% of boys. Global EDE‐Q scores were significantly higher for girls and boys with each type of SM account, except for Facebook and Instagram for girls.
A greater number of SM accounts was associated with higher DE scores for both cognitions and behaviors. Girls with Snapchat and Tumblr accounts and boys with Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram were significantly more likely to have both DE behaviors and over‐evaluation of shape and weight in the clinical range. Greater daily time spent using Instagram was associated with significantly higher Global EDE‐Q scores and DE behaviors for girls, while this pattern was also found for Snapchat usage and DE behaviors for girls.
Conclusions
A clear pattern of association was found between SM usage and DE cognitions and behaviors with this exploratory study confirming that these relationships occur at younger‐age than previously investigated

#Eating Jet Lag: A Marker of the Variability in Meal Timing and Its Association with #Body Mass Index
The timing of food intake has been associated with obesity and adverse metabolic outcomes, independently of the amount or content of food intake and activity level. However, the impact of the variability in the timing of food intake between weekends and weekdays on BMI (body mass index) remains unexplored. To address that, we propose to study a marker of the variability of meal timing on weekends versus weekdays (denominated as ‘eating jet lag’) that could be associated with increments in BMI..
Our results revealed a positive association between eating jet lag and BMI (p = 0.008), which was independent of the chronotype and social jet lag. Further analysis revealed the threshold of eating jet lag was of 3.5 h or more, from which the BMI could significantly increase. These results provided evidence of the suitability of the eating jet lag, as a marker of the variability in meal timing between weekends and weekdays, for the study of the influence of meal timing on obesity. In a long run, the reduction of the variability between meal timing on weekends versus weekdays could be included as part of food timing guidelines for the prevention of obesity among general population.

Increased rates of #eating disorders and their symptoms in women with major #depressive disorder and #anxiety disorders
https://2medical.news/2020/09/03/increased-rates-of-eating-disorders-and-their-symptoms-in-women-with-major-depressive-disorder-and-anxiety-disorders/
Individuals with eating disorders (EDs) have increased rates of major depressive disorder (MDD) and anxiety disorders. Yet, few studies have investigated rates of EDs and their symptoms in individuals presenting with MDD/anxiety disorders. Identifying potential disordered eating in people with MDD/anxiety disorders is important because even subclinical disordered eating is associated with reduced quality of life, and undiagnosed eating pathology may hinder treatment progress for …

Cognitive Factors Associated with Frequency of #Eating Out and Eating Takeout among Latinas
https://2medical.news/2020/10/09/cognitive-factors-associated-with-frequency-of-eating-out-and-eating-takeout-among-latinas/
Higher frequency of eating outside the home can be an unhealthy behavior that may contribute to higher rates of obesity among Latinas, a disproportionately affected group. There is a growing need to understand potentially modifiable factors (eg, dispositional mindfulness, self-efficacy, nutrition knowledge) associated with higher frequency of eating outside the home in this population. This study assessed associations of cognitive factors (ie, dispositional mindfulness, self-efficacy …

Eating disorders are serious, potentially life-threatening illnesses afflicting individuals through the life span, with a particular impact on both the physical and psychological development of children and adolescents. Because care for children and adolescents with eating disorders can be complex and resources for the treatment of eating disorders are often limited, pediatricians may be called on to not only provide medical supervision for their patients …

The Tailgate Study: Differing #metabolic effects of a bout of excessive #eating and #drinking
https://2medical.news/2021/02/03/the-tailgate-study-differing-metabolic-effects-of-a-bout-of-excessive-eating-and-drinking/
Excess energy intake by spectators at a sporting event (i.e., a tailgate) might cause acute negative health effects. However, limited data exist regarding the effects of overeating and alcohol consumption on lipid metabolism and the potential to gain intrahepatic triacylglycerols (IHTG). We tested the hypothesis that overconsumption of food and alcohol would significantly increase both hepatic de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and IHTG. Methods Eighteen males …
