Medical Complications of Binge Eating Disorder



Background: Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is the most prevalent eating disorder across
all age groups.




Objectives & Results: Estimates are that it is more common than anorexia nervosa and bulimia
nervosa. Unfortunately, there are numerous psychiatric and medical co-morbidities associated with
BED which will exert a heavy toll on health care expenditures. However, too often, BED and its
relative medical co-morbidities are underdiagnosed by primary care physicians.




Conclusion: The relationships between BED, Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, the Metabolic Syndrome
components and other medical complications are reviewed here in order to increase awareness of this
increasingly common eating disorder.
