Problematic eating behaviors in patients undergoing bariatric surgery: Studying their relationship with psychopathology.

Abstract
:

This study explored the associations between individuals presenting different problematic eating behaviors (Objective/Subjective binge-eating-OBE/SBE-and Compulsive/Non-compulsive grazing-C_Grazing/NC_Grazing) and eating disorder related symptoms. About 163 pre- and 131 post-bariatric patients were assessed. Assessment included: Face-to-face clinical interview to assess binge-eating and grazing episodes, and self-report measures to assess eating disorder symptomatology, psychological distress, and negative urgency. OBE and NC_Grazing were the problematic eating behaviors most and least associated with psychopathology, respectively. OBE and C_Grazing uniquely accounted for the significant variance in the most disordered eating variables. Our findings emphasize the need for the conceptualization of grazing behavior in the spectrum of disordered eating.
