Using the eating disorder examination to identify the specific psychopathology of binge eating disorder

Article Abstract:

Less is known about the clinical features of binge eating disorder (BED) compared to anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN). A sample of BED patient data was compared with data from AN and BN patients and normal weight and obese controls who were administered the Eating Disorders Examination (EDE). The status of BED as an eating disorder is supported and the observed elevated EDE scores reflect the impact of being overweighted and having disordered behaviors concerning eating, shape and weight.
