Students with Binge Eating Disorder (BED) show lower adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MD). Adopting the MD may reduce BED risk and associated overweight issues in university students.

Area of Science:

  • Nutritional Psychiatry
  • Eating Disorders Research
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Binge Eating Disorder (BED) involves consuming large food amounts with loss of control, linked to imbalanced diets and health issues.
  • Healthy eating patterns and lifestyles are crucial for preventing associated pathologies.
  • The Mediterranean Diet (MD) is a recognized standard for healthy eating.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between the Mediterranean Diet (MD) and Binge Eating Disorder (BED).
  • To analyze this relationship in a university student population.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 120 university students.
  • Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) assessed the link between binge eating patterns and MD adherence.

  • Results were analyzed using odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).

    • Main Results:

    • Individuals with BED patterns exhibited lower MD adherence (OR = 4.03).
    • BED was associated with higher rates of overweight (OR = 5.31) and sedentary lifestyles (OR = 1.4).
    • A significant negative correlation was found between BED and MD adherence (r = -0.3, p < 0.01).

    Conclusions:

    • The Mediterranean Diet (MD) pattern is inversely associated with the risk of Binge Eating Disorder (BED).
    • BED patterns are significantly linked to an increased risk of overweight among university students.
    • Further research is needed to confirm if MD adoption can mitigate BED risk.
