Determinants of binge eating and its impact on indicators of obesity among Finnish adolescents - a cohort study.
Article in Journal of eating disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundBinge eating, a type of disordered eating, is relatively common among youth and predisposes them to many adverse health outcomes. Diverse psychological and social factors may be associated with binge eating. The aim of this study was to examine child and parental psychosocial determinants of binge eating and its impact on indicators of obesity.
methodsThe sample consisted of 10 679 Finnish adolescents who participated in the Fin-HIT cohort study. The participants were 9-12 years at baseline, and they were followed-up for 2.6 years on average. At baseline, children's anthropometry was measured, and they reported binge eating, disordered eating attitudes and behaviors, self-esteem, and body shape satisfaction with validated questionnaires. Parents reported their own weight satisfaction, dieting, and depressive symptoms at baseline. Adjusted logistic and linear regressions were used in the analyses.
resultsSelf-esteem was associated with lower odds (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.85-0.91), and overall disordered eating attitudes and behaviors were associated with higher odds (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.06-1.10) of binge eating. Additionally, child and parent body dissatisfaction were associated with binge eating but not in the fully adjusted model where the child's BMI was additionally considered. None of the parental factors were associated with binge eating in the fully adjusted model. Binge eating was associated with higher BMI z-scores and waist circumferences both cross-sectionally and longitudinally.
conclusionsIn support of previous findings, we found that low self-esteem, body dissatisfaction and other disordered eating attitudes and behaviors are associated with binge eating, but our results also highlight the impact of weight status as a potential moderator when the determinants of binge eating are examined. More studies on the role of parental factors in adolescent binge eating are needed.
