Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Eating disorders are a group of mental disorders resulting from an unhealthy approach to food and weight. They can pose a significant threat to many aspects of a person's life, including their health. Eating disorders include various pathologies such as pica, rumination, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating.

The behaviors associated with eating disorders can significantly affect physical well-being and are frequently exacerbated by other conditions such as substance abuse, anxiety disorders or depression. Eating disorders are associated with significant psychological impairment, serious medical complications and an increased risk of suicide. Research has shown that various psychological factors are involved in the development of eating disorders, and it is becoming increasingly important to understand the predisposing, precipitating and maintaining factors.

This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest innovative research in this field to help clinicians better understand eating disorders.

Abstract
Background/Objective: Eating behaviors (EB) correlate with weight loss after bariatric surgery (BS). Therefore, the investigation of EB could guide interventions to prevent insufficient weight outcomes. Method: A prospective cohort of 85 patients undergoing Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB; 84.7% female, mean age 44.7 ± [...] Read more.
Background/Objective: Eating behaviors (EB) correlate with weight loss after bariatric surgery (BS). Therefore, the investigation of EB could guide interventions to prevent insufficient weight outcomes. Method: A prospective cohort of 85 patients undergoing Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB; 84.7% female, mean age 44.7 ± 9.3 years) was included. Six months after undergoing RYGB, EB patterns, including cognitive restraint (CR), uncontrolled (UE), and emotional eating (EE), were assessed using the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire R21 (TFEQ-R21). History, physical examination, and anthropometric assessments were collected pre- and 12 months postoperative. Patients were divided based on the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL < 80% or ≥80%) and EB patterns were correlated with weight outcomes at 12 months. Results: The %EWL ≥ 80% group demonstrated significantly higher scores in CR and EE compared to %EWL < 80% (p < 0.001 and p = 0.01, respectively). UE scores were similar between groups (p = 0.41). At 12 months postoperative, the %EWL ≥ 80% group had negative correlations between CR and BMI and positive correlations between CR and EWL (rho = −0.33 and rho = 0.29; p = 0.04). Multiple logistic regression considering %EWL ≥ 80% as the aim outcome revealed that CR had a significant influence (OR = 1.037; p = 0.058), while age (OR = 0.962; p = 0.145), sex (OR = 2.984; p = 0.135), UE (OR = 0.995; p = 0.736), and EE (OR = 1.017; p = 0.296) did not. Conclusions: EBs influence outcomes after BS, and a model using TFEQ-R21 predicted them. CR six months post-surgery was the strongest predictor of higher EWL at 12 months. Further research is needed to understand the relationship between restrictive EB and BS outcomes, possibly identifying strategies to prevent disordered EB in patients with higher scores. Full article
