The prevalence and correlates of binge eating in a British community sample of women with a history of obesity

Article Abstract:

A study aimed at estimating the frequency of binge eating in women with a history of obesity is presented. A group of British women with a high body mass index were asked to take part in a self-reporting exercise and interviews. The results are similar to those found in North America and show slight trends towards family obesity, childhood obesity and early onset of dieting. Further studies are needed to discover the cause of binge eating by obese people.
