The Significance of Overvaluation of Shape or Weight in Binge-Eating Disorder: Results from a National Sample of U.S. Adults.

CONCLUSIONS: Findings based on this nationally representative sample are that overvaluation was associated with greater functional impairment within BED, and BED+OV reported greater impairment than BN in interference with normal activities but less impairment related to mental health. The increased impairment associated with BED+OV provides support for overvaluation as a diagnostic specifier for BED. PMID: 31265763 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
