Risk factors and patterns of onset in binge eating disorder
Article Abstract:
The risk factors in women with binge eating disorder (BED) are examined to compare those who began binging before dieting [binge first (BF)], with those who began dieting before binging [diet first (DF)]. It was observed that the BF group had significantly earlier onset of BED than the DF group and that the DF group experienced higher eating disorder psychopathology and lifetime diagnosis of any substance use disorder.

Natural oourse of a community sample of women with binge eating disorder
Article Abstract:
A study to describe the natural course and outcome of binge eating disorders (BED) for a six-month period was made using a community sample of women with BED. Thirty-one participants were assessed at the start, after three months and finally, after six months. Ten dropped out of the study after the three-month assessment. Preliminary findings show that study drop-outs were likely victims of childhood sexual abuse. Of the remaining 21 patients, 10 had partial remission while 11 still had full syndrome BED after six months. For some patients with BED, the condition improves over time.
