Associated Factors for Self-Reported Binge Eating among Male and Female Adolescents.
Ledoux, Sylvie; And Others
Journal of Adolescence, v16 n1 p75-91 Mar 1993
Adolescents (n=3,287) completed questionnaire concerning eating behaviors. Found that binge eaters had disorderly eating habits (skipping meals, snacking, eating sweets, unbalanced diets), concern with body shape (feeling too fat), and depressive symptoms more often than nonbinge eaters did. Relationship between binging episodes and eating habits, concern with body shape, and depressiveness was observed for both sexes. (Author/NB)
