Testing replicability of the relationship between weight suppression and binge eating in three non-clinical samples varying in lifetime weight history

CONCLUSIONS: Findings highlight the importance of investigating the generalizability of eating disorder risk and maintenance theories across the weight spectrum. Weight loss may not increase risk for binge eating among those with a history of higher weight. Future work should replicate and extend this finding using longitudinal designs. More research is needed to elucidate which weight loss motivations and/or behaviors are most closely linked to binge eating.PMID:37515999 | DOI:10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101784
