Comorbidity and binge eating disorder
Article Abstract:
Research in obesity with recurrent binge eating or binge eating disorder (BED) has indicated higher rates of psychiatric comorbidity compared to non-binge eating obese persons. Many studies have also shown a link between BED and increased rates of psychological distress, social problems and low self-esteem. These findings necessitate further research, particularly regarding the reasons behind the association and the implications of this comorbidity.

Binge eating onset in obese patients with binge eating disorder
Article Abstract:
A study on binge eating onset in obese patients is presented. Results indicate a greater probability for early-onset binge eaters to exhibit early onset of obesity and dieting than those with later-onset to binge-eat before dieting. Early-onset binge eaters are also more likely to have longer binge-free periods, more paternal obesity and binge eating. Early-onset binge eaters are also susceptible to more eating-disorders psychopathology.

How many donuts is a 'binge?': Women with BED eat more but do not have more restrictive standards than weight-matched non-BED women
Article Abstract:
Overweight women diagnosed with Binge Eating Disorder (BED) and an age and weight matched comparison group were asked to report the minimum amount of certain foods needed to make an eating episode feel like a binge. The amounts of food perceived as a bing ranged from around 500-800 calories. It is suggested that binge eaters see substantially smaller amounts of food as a binge. There was no evidence of predicted cognitive distortions.
