Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Research on the interplay between disordered eating and lifestyle is needed to inform intervention approaches and improve the effectiveness of tailored prevention programs for patients with eating problems and the promotion of healthy eating behaviors in the community. Disordered eating is commonly related to body dissatisfaction, self-criticism, cognitive inflexibility, emotion regulation difficulties, and rumination, and leads to specific behaviors, such as loss of control with eating and compulsive exercise. More recently, attention has been given to improving the understanding of maladaptive preoccupations with healthy eating and good health, known as orthorexia nervosa.

In this Special Issue of Nutrients, entitled “Disordered Eating and Lifestyle Studies−2nd Edition”, we would like to invite authors to submit original manuscripts falling within the scope of the proposed topics. Submissions of original research, reviews of current scientific literature, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and short reports are welcome. This Special Issue will address the most recent and relevant scientific findings regarding disordered eating and lifestyle.

This study analyzes the eating behavior and factors associated with the presence of disordered eating attitudes in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. It is a cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study conducted at a hospital in the Amazon region of Brazil. The Disordered Eating Attitude Scale reduced version (DEAS-s) was used to assess the risk of eating disorders and the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ-R21) was used to characterize eating behavior. A total of 205 patients participated, with a mean age of 37.5 ± 8.6 years. The majority of participants were female (93.7%; p < 0.001), and the mean BMI was 45.3 ± 6.7 kg/m2. It was found that cognitive restraint had the highest mean (52.6 ± 19.9; p < 0.001). As for the DEAS-s, the question with the highest mean response was “spending one or more days without eating or consuming only liquids to lose weight” (2.80 ± 1.99). Female participants had a higher score for emotional eating (p = 0.016). Disordered eating attitudes showed a correlation with emotional eating and uncontrolled eating. These results suggest that candidates for bariatric surgery may have susceptibility to eating disorders. The importance of a multidisciplinary team conducting monitoring during the preoperative period is highlighted. Full article
