In the article, we analyze diagnosis of psychogenic overeating (ICD-10), consider problem its diagnostic criteria, similarities and differences with binge-eating disorder (DSM-V), which complicate work researchers. We are looking at need to differentiate different types binge eating disorder. The role is noted as a pathogenetic factor that triggers process gaining excess weight. describe in det...

OBJECTIVE Obesity has been linked to frequency of meals eaten outside the home and the associated large portion sizes. These large portions, which have been shown to promote overeating, are often offered for a small additional cost which may appear economical to the consumer. The aim of this study was to calculate additional costs from medical, gasoline, and increased caloric needs that result ...

Consistent with the theory that individuals with hypofunctioning reward circuitry overeat to compensate for a reward deficit, obese versus lean humans have fewer striatal D2 receptors and show less striatal response to palatable food intake. Low striatal response to food intake predicts future weight gain in those at genetic risk for reduced signaling of dopamine-based reward circuitry. Yet ani...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we used a strict definition of hypersomnia and tested if the association between overeating-hypersomnia remained positive and significant. Hypersomnia was present if the total sleep time was close to 10h per day or was at least 2h longer than in normothymic periods. METHODS Cross-sectional study using the adult general population of California and New York. The sample...

The recent separation of non-eating disordered obesity into a subtype that is high in negative affect and a subtype that is low in negative affect led to the hypothesis that the two subtypes would show opposite eating responses to typical triggers of overeating. Overweight/obese and normal weight participants, clustered into high and low negative affect subtypes, took part in an experiment usin...

Overeating may be a consequence of the suppression of negative emotions, by depleting self-control resources. This experiment investigated whether (a) there is a causal relationship between the suppression of negative emotions, negative mood, and overeating in people with binge eating disorder (BED) and whether (b) this relationship is increased in depressed people with BED. Sixty-six women wit...

Knocking out primary cilia of adult mouse tissues or a specific subset of cilia from POMC-expressing neurons in the brain initiates uncontrolled eating. This behavior leads to obesity and kidney disease.

As obesity has become a more widespread issue both in the United States and globally, weight loss has become a major focus of mobile health. SlipBuddy is an Android application that collects data from its users to learn patterns from and make predictions about their overeating behavior. A constraint on the development of applications such as SlipBuddy is that evaluating their quality often reli...
