Pregnancy may increase the risk of developing binge eatin...(r women who already had the disorder con...),Health

Date:9/6/2007

r women who already had the disorder, continuation of symptoms during pregnancy was more common than remission, the researchers found. New cases were more likely than other eating disorders to develop during pregnancy. Lower education and lower minimum combined income was associated with new onset cases of binge eating disorders.

The researchers will follow the impact of eating disorders, especially binge eating, on the women and their children over time. They want to find out, for instance, if fluctuating nutrients during gestation have impact on childrens birth weight, development and childhood and adolescent eating and weight patterns.

We have this group of women that we need to study intensively to find out the impact of binge eating on offspring. We didnt know these women existed before, Bulik said.
