Study Summary

  • Binge Eating Disorder (BED) has been fairly recently introduced into the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5 psychiatric classification and its severity criteria are still not well established.

  • Moreover, it remains unclear whether BED is associated with greater metabolic severity or more somatic comorbidities, especially in obesity.

  • Improved BED severity staging could lead to a better definition of management strategies and , therefore, facilitate screening and care.

The investigators' hypothesis is that an improved assessment of the impulsivity-compulsivity spectrum, emotional regulation, attentional impairment and somatic or psychiatric comorbidities will result in a better distinction between the severe form of BED (e.g., highly impulsive and somatically complicated) from milder form (e.g., more compulsive and less somatically complicated).

  • participants scheduled for evaluation and treatment of BED at the CEPIA with obesity (BMI≥30)

  • for the group with BED: positive BEDS-7 screen and Binge Eating Scale score >16;

  • for the control group: have a negative BEDS-7 screen and Binge Eating Scale score<12

  • be fluent in French and able to consent.

Exclusion criteria :

  • participants with severe neurological disorder and/or major neurocognitive deficits;

  • participants with previous bariatric surgery or with introduction or change ofanti-obesity medication (liraglutide or naltrexone/bupropion) in the previous 3months;

Exclusion

Secondary exclusion criteria:

  • participants with a discordance between BEDS-7 (positive) and Binge Eating Scale (score ≤ 16) results found secondarily

  • participants who did not participate in part of the assessments (e.g.,self-questionnaires or neurocognitive tests) and participants with a rate of missingdata>10%.
