The Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative (EDGI) är den största genetiska forskningsstudien någonsin om ätstörningar. Om du någon gång i ditt liv har haft en ätstörning så är du välkommen att delta i EDGI.

BED remains relatively undetected in society, which means that people with serious health issues do not get the help they need. Prejudices about gender, age and weight can contribute to the invisibility of BED.

Våra samarbetspartners vid Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders (CEED) publicerade nyligen en studie om BED.
I studien jämfördes personer som har eller har haft både BED och AN med personer som endast har erfarenhet av BED.

Binge eating disorder (BED) occurs in both men and women, but is slightly more common in women. A recent literature review estimates that BED, as defined in the DSM-5, affects about 1.5 percent of women and 0.3 percent of men globally.

Nu görs de genetiska analyserna i studien BEGIN (Binge Eating Genetics Initiative) där vi hoppas kunna hitta nya genetiska kopplingar till hetsätningsstörning och bulimia nervosa. Studien görs tillsammans med många länder—och nu har vi lovande preliminära resultat… Stay tuned! https://t.co/mu1utSpCM1

Like other eating disorders, BED likely results from a combination of genetic, psychological, and socio-cultural factors. The importance of genetic factors is currently being examined at CEDI in BEGIN.

Binge eating involves eating large amounts of food in a short space of time, while at the same time experiencing loss of control. Binge eating is associated with strong feelings of shame, disgust, and self-loathing, which can make it difficult to seek help https://t.co/yRXeHYUC7n https://t.co/JTvvXjsc9W
