Correlates of binge eating in Hispanic, black, and white women

Article Abstract:

The severity of binge eating in Hispanic, black and white women as well as the roles of obesity, ideal body image and depression on binge eating severity were investigated. A self-report questionnaire was administered to 351 subjects to gather demographic data. Results show that weight, depression and ideal body image were strictly correlated to the severity of binge eating in Hispanic, black and white women. It was also found that binge eating in Hispanic women was more severe than that in black or white women.
