Childhood loss of control eating over five‐year follow‐up
Open accessAbstract
Objective: Emerging prospective evidence from mixed samples, mostly covering short‐term follow‐up periods, suggests that childhood loss of control (LOC) eating predicts significant impairment in mental and physical health. This study sought to investigate the natural course of childhood LOC eating over the long term and in relation to binge‐eating disorder (BED) diagnosis, psychopathology, and body weight trajectory in the community. Method: A total of 60 children (8–13 years) with LOC eating within the past 3 months and 60 demographically matched children without LOC history were assessed with the Eating Disorder Examination adapted for Children and self‐report questionnaires over a 5.5 year follow‐up period. Missing data were imputed. Results: Over follow‐up, 38.3% of children showed persistent LOC eating, and 28.3% revealed an onset of LOC eating. Persistent LOC eating significantly predicted onset of partial‐/full‐syndrome BED at follow‐up. Negative prognostic effects on eating disorder psychopathology, depressive symptoms, and body mass index were nonsignificant. Discussion: The results indicate a moderate stability of LOC eating over the long term. LOC eating, especially if stable, was suggested as a variable risk factor of clinically relevant eating disturbances. In contrast, a prognostic value for psychopathology and body mass index was not confirmed. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. (Int J Eat Disord 2014; 47:758–761)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
