Family body culture, disordered eating and mental health among young adult females during COVID-19
This study aimed to, first, explore relationships between different family body-related interactions to assess the presence of a family body culture, and second, explore relationships between aspects of family body culture, disordered eating and mental health among young adult females during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were 233 females aged 18-25 years who completed measures of family body culture (family fat talk; family weight concern; family weight teasing), disordered eating, anxiety and depression. Results showed all aspects of family body culture were significantly, positively related. Engaging in fat talk wi...

Reduction in eating disorder symptoms among adults in different weight loss interventions
This study contributes to a growing body of literature demonstrating that weight loss programs are not associated with increases in eating disorder symptoms. Future studies should evaluate interventions to maintain improvements in eating disorder symptoms following weight loss programs.PMID:37639734 | DOI:10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101787 (Source: Eating Behaviors)

Gender differences in factors related to eating competence in college students: Weight-and-body shame and guilt, weight satisfaction, weight loss effort, and eating disorder risk
CONCLUSION: EC may be protective, as this was related to less WEB-S in all genders; less WEB-G and greater weight satisfaction in men and women; and lower likelihood of ED risk and trying to lose weight among women. Further research is needed to elucidate whether these maladaptive weight-and-body attitudes and behaviors in college students can be improved to increase EC.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, descriptive cross-sectional study.PMID:37639735 | DOI:10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101797 (Source: Eating Behaviors)

Higher intuitive eating is associated with lower adiposity in midlife women
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that higher intuitive eating is associated with lower total body fat percentage and lower abdominal adiposity. These results may have public health implications to promote intuitive eating in midlife women, a population at risk of weight gain and changes to body fat distribution.PMID:37634483 | DOI:10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101796 (Source: Eating Behaviors)

Parents' emotion dysregulation and children's emotional overeating: The role of emotion regulation feeding
Eat Behav. 2023 Aug 19;50:101795. doi: 10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101795. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTParents' use of food to regulate children's emotions (i.e., emotion regulation feeding) has been associated with children's emotional overeating. However, less is known about how parents' emotion regulation feeding acts as a moderator between parents' emotion dysregulation and children's emotional overeating. A total of 216 parents (Mage = 35.84 years, SD = 6.11) of 3- to 5-year-old children were recruited to complete an online survey. Analyses revealed that emotion regulation feeding moderated the association between parents...

"Follow to *actually* heal binge eating": A mixed methods textual content analysis of #BEDrecovery on TikTok
Eat Behav. 2023 Aug 24;50:101793. doi: 10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101793. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBinge eating disorder (BED) has been relatively overlooked in research on eating disorders and social media. Existing literature suggests that time spent on social media may be associated with increased binge eating. However, more granular details of social media experiences such as the consumption of pro-recovery content have not received sufficient scholarly attention. The present study begins to address this gap through analysis of 1074 captions from public posts on TikTok, a video-based social media platform, tagged with ...

Longitudinal associations between weight stigma and disordered eating across the weight spectrum
Eat Behav. 2023 Jul 25;50:101788. doi: 10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101788. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWeight stigma reflects discrimination or stereotyping based on weight, and this construct is associated with body dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, and eating pathology. Recent research suggests that internalizing weight stigma (i.e., endorsing negative stereotypes about one's weight) mediates associations between experienced weight stigma and disordered eating. However, much of this research has been cross-sectional and limited data exist on associations between weight stigma constructs and eating pathology across the weight...
