The use and misuse of the SCOFF screening measure over two decades: a systematic literature review
CONCLUSION: This systematic review highlights the inappropriate use of the SCOFF in diverse languages and settings. When used correctly the SCOFF has made a significant contribution to the understanding of eating disorders and its simplicity has been applauded and led to widespread use. However in over two-thirds of studies, the use of the SCOFF was inappropriate and the paper highlights how and in what way it was misused, Guidelines for the appropriate use of the SCOFF are stated. Future validation and avenues of research are suggested.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level I.PMID:38652332 | DOI:10.1007/s40519-024-01656-6 (Source: Eati...

Pre-operative body shape concerns moderate excess weight loss trajectory in bariatric surgery patients: a 2-year longitudinal study
CONCLUSIONS: The present findings support the structural validity of the BSQ questionnaire in bariatric candidates and call attention on the role of pre-operative body shape concerns on post-operative weight loss trajectories over 2 years, in accordance with a pathoplasty model. They suggest the need for systematic attention on perceived body image and psychological paths aimed to help bariatric patients regain positive attitudes towards their own body. Level of evidence III, well-designed cohort.PMID:38653913 | DOI:10.1007/s40519-024-01660-w (Source: Eating and weight disorders : EWD)

Downloading appetite? Investigating the role of parasocial relationship with favorite social media food influencer in followers' disordered eating behaviors
CONCLUSION: These findings show that PSR with favorite food influencers appears to be associated with followers' craving for food, which, in turn, may contribute to maladaptive eating habits. This highlights media-related factors, such as PSR with food influencers, as potential drivers of dysfunctional eating habits in the digital age, particularly in countries like Iran where disordered eating is prevalent.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V-based on cross-sectional data (correlational study; scale development).PMID:38647734 | PMC:PMC11035395 | DOI:10.1007/s40519-024-01658-4 (Source: Eating and weight disorders : EWD)

Neophobia, sensory experience and child's schemata contribute to food choices
CONCLUSIONS: As neophobia strongly affects consumption of healthy foods, it will be relevant to rule definitively out its role in the genesis of maladaptive food choices and weight status in longitudinal studies tracking to adulthood and, in meanwhile, implement early in life effective social learning strategies, to reduce long-term effects of neophobia on dietary patterns and weight status.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, controlled trials without randomization.PMID:38587606 | PMC:PMC11001701 | DOI:10.1007/s40519-024-01657-5 (Source: Eating and weight disorders : EWD)
