text: This study examined the role of muscularity concerns in eating disorder (ED)
symptoms among a sample of women. We expanded on previous research by exploring
a broader range of ED symptoms, including orthorexia (ON) and avoidant/restrictive
food intake disorder (ARFID). Using network analysis, we analysed data from 308
adult women (18 years or older) who completed muscularity, disordered eating,
and sociodemographic assessments. Our findings revealed five interconnected symptom
communities reflecting traditional ED symptoms, such as eating concerns and shape
and weight overvaluation. Notably, muscularity concerns emerged as a distinct
community, emphasising their relevance to ED symptoms in women. Additionally,
we identified selective eating tendencies and compulsive healthy eating. Highly
central symptoms were rumination about healthy eating, fear and guilt over unhealthy
eating, body‐related embarrassment, and muscularity concerns (wishing to be heavier,
wishing for heavier arms). These results suggest that muscularity concerns could
constitute a uniquely identifiable and central diagnostic target for body image
concerns and disordered eating in women.

text: "Background\r\nMany young women are dissatisfied with their bodies. This study
investigated the effect on current body dissatisfaction levels of a newly developed
evaluative conditioning procedure that paired self-similar and self-dissimilar
images of bodies with positive and neutral affective images, respectively. We
hypothesized that learning the contingency that self-similar bodies predict positive
affectivity is one process that could aid in explaining how these procedures function.\r\nMethods\r\nAdult
women without disordered eating pathology participated in an online experiment
with random assignment to an intervention or a control condition. All participants
initially rated body images in self-similarity and were subsequently asked to
categorize positive and neutral images by valence as quickly and accurately as
possible. In the intervention condition, self-similar bodies systematically preceded
positive images, and self-dissimilar images preceded neutral images, creating
a similar body → positive contingency. Pairings in the control condition were
unsystematic such that no contingency was present. We measured categorization
latencies and accuracies to infer contingency learning as well as current body
dissatisfaction immediately before and after exposure to the pairings. All participants
further completed measures of trait body image concerns and disordered eating
psychopathology at baseline, which we examined as moderators of an expected relation
between condition assignment, contingency learning, and body dissatisfaction improvements.\r\nResults\r\nWe
analyzed data from N = 173 women fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Moderated
mediation analyses showed that assignment to the intervention (vs. control) condition
predicted increased similar body → positive contingency learning, which in turn
predicted improved body dissatisfaction post-intervention, but only among women
with higher pre-existing trait body image concerns or disordered eating levels.\r\nConclusions\r\nThe
findings point toward the relevancy of further exploring the utility of pairing
procedures. Similar body → positive contingency learning predicted improved body
dissatisfaction in individuals with normatively high body image concerns, which
suggests pairing procedures could help inform future research on reducing body
dissatisfaction."

text: "Background\r\nIndividuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) frequently
alter between idealizing and devaluing other persons, which has been linked to
an increased tendency to update self-relevant beliefs and impressions. We hypothesized
that increased impression updating could stem from reduced attitude contextualization,
i.e., a process in which impression-disconfirming information is linked to contextual
cues.\r\nMethods\r\nIndividuals diagnosed with BPD and controls (recruited online,
with unknown diagnostic status) completed an impression formation paradigm. They
first learned about the positive or negative behaviors of others in one Context
A (e.g., Person 1 is helpful), followed by learning about behaviors of the opposite
valence in a second Context B (Person 1 is rude). We also manipulated between
participants whether the observed behaviors were directed toward the study participants
(self-relevant) or, more generally, at other people (other-relevant). The contexts
were marked by differently-colored backgrounds (e.g., yellow vs. blue), to avoid
influences of prior knowledge or experiences. After exposure to information in
both contexts, participants rated their impressions of the persons in Context
A, Context B, and, crucially, a previously unknown Context C (white background).
We examined whether the initial or an updated impression (re-)emerged in Context
C.\r\nResults\r\nInitial impressions remained stable and dominated the ratings
of controls across contexts A, B, and C for both self-relevant and other-relevant
behaviors, consistent with contextualizing impression-disconfirming information.
As expected, however, individuals with BPD only showed updated impression ratings
in Context C for self-relevant behaviors, consistent with the assumed reduced
tendency to contextualize impression-disconfirming self-relevant information.
Further exploratory analyses suggest that more severe BPD symptoms predicted more
pronounced impression updating in the self-relevant condition.\r\nConclusions\r\nThe
findings help to illuminate the mechanisms underlying interpersonal problems in
individuals with BPD. People with BPD are not just more inclined to discard positive
first impressions but to re-evaluate disliked others when they behave positively,
contributing to the volatility of interactions with others. Contextualization
has known and modifiable antecedents, and the study may thus provide potential
targets for therapeutic intervention. Future studies will need to replicate the
findings with specified controls."

text: "Objective\r\nBody dissatisfaction is an important risk factor for developing
eating disorders. This study investigated whether pairing images of normatively
“healthy” weight bodies of women with positive stimuli, and images of bodies outside
the healthy range (e.g., underweight) with neutral stimuli, could improve body
dissatisfaction.\r\nMethods\r\nWe compared behavioral and rating data from 121
adult women who participated in an online study and were randomly assigned to
an intervention condition (in which healthy body mass predicted positive stimuli)
or a control condition (with no contingency between body mass and stimulus valence).\r\nResults\r\nBehavioral
data showed that women in the intervention condition, compared to the control
condition, learned to associate healthy bodies with positive valence. Having learned
to associate healthy bodies with positive valence, in turn, predicted reductions
in body dissatisfaction. The intervention and control conditions were not directly
associated with changes in body dissatisfaction.\r\nConclusion\r\nLearning to
associate healthy bodies with any positive stimuli could be a relevant mechanism
for understanding and predicting improvements in women's body dissatisfaction.
Further research is required regarding the impact of contingency learning on the
evaluation of other bodies, and the selection of other bodies for body-related
social comparison processes."

text: Early weight gain is a primary goal in the treatment of anorexia nervosa (AN)
and associated with more favorable discharge weights and clinical outcomes. Activity
urges, that is, a motivational state to engage in activity, have been suspected
to delay early weight gain, but their prognostic role remains barely explored.
Here, we investigated whether acute (state‐like) activity urges at treatment onset
would predict within‐person weight gain in patients with AN during the initial
2 weeks of inpatient treatment. Adults with AN from an inpatient unit (N = 53)
completed an activity urges measure at treatment onset, and weight changes were
monitored for the duration of their treatment. Regression analyses, controlling
for admission body mass index and other patient variables (i.e., patient age and
AN subtype), found that higher state activity urges were associated with lower
initial weight gain. Mediation analyses showed that differences in early weight
changes further linked higher activity urges at admission to lower discharge weights.
An activity urge cutoff value of 2.76 for distinguishing between cases with optimal
and suboptimal initial weight gain is proposed. We discuss potential mechanisms
of the link between activity urges and early weight gain and the implications
of activity urges as a prognostic factor for improving weight restoration during
AN treatment.

text: Food addiction (FA) could be a potential prognostic factor of weight loss
intervention outcomes. This systematic review with meta‐analysis aimed to (1)
estimate this prognostic effect of FA diagnosis and symptom count in individuals
with overweight or obesity and (2) explore potential sources of heterogeneity
based on properties of the weight loss intervention, study, and sample (e.g.,
age, gender, ethnicity). We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science for
studies reporting on associations between pre‐intervention FA (assessed with the
Yale Food Addiction Scale) and weight outcomes after weight loss intervention
in individuals with overweight or obesity without a medically diagnosed eating
disorder. Twenty‐five studies met inclusion criteria, including 4904 individuals
(71% women, Mage = 41 years, BMI = 40.82 kg/m2),
k = 18 correlations of weight loss with FA symptom
count, and k = 21 mean differences between FA diagnosis
groups. Pooled estimates of random‐effects meta‐analyses found limited support
for a detrimental effect of FA symptom count and diagnosis on weight loss intervention
outcomes. Negative associations with FA increased for behavioral weight loss interventions
and among more ethnically diverse samples. More research on the interaction of
FA with pre‐existing mental health problems and environmental factors is needed.

text: "Objective\r\nEating disorders (EDs) increasingly emerge as a health risk
in men, but there is concern that men's symptoms go unnoticed due to stereotypical
perceptions and gender-related differences in symptom presentation. Novel assessments
focused particularly on attitudes and behaviours towards increasing muscle size
and definition. Using network analysis, this study aimed to corroborate and extend
previous findings on disordered eating presentation in men by examining the role
of muscularity concerns among an extended range of disordered eating symptoms.\r\nMethod\r\nN
= 294 adult men (18 years or older) completed muscularity-related and disordered
eating assessments, among which we included assessments for orthorexic eating
and Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder for the first time. We selected
symptoms empirically, estimated a regularised network, identified symptom communities,
evaluated network loadings and bridge centrality estimates, and compared network
structures between different groups of participants.\r\nResults\r\nWe identified
five symptom communities related to muscularity-related concerns, features of
core ED psychopathology, and selective eating. Symptoms regarding ruminating about
healthy eating, guilt for unhealthy eating, weight overvaluation, concerns about
muscularity, and selective eating emerged as highly central.\r\nDiscussion\r\nThe
results largely corroborate previous observations but suggest that muscle-building
behaviours are part of a broader cluster of male body shaping and rule-based dieting
behaviours.\r\n"

text: ObjectiveMany people, including patients with eating disorders (EDs), experience
an increased urge for physical activity. "Trait"-like activity in patients with
EDs is assessed by existing questionnaires, but there are few clinically validated
assessments of a "state" urge to be physically active. Here, we developed and
validated the State Urge to be Physically Active-Questionnaire (SUPA-Q). MethodsAfter
developing and piloting the items, N = 126 patients with EDs (mostly anorexia
nervosa and bulimia nervosa) took part in our mixed-longitudinal validation study
with one primary assessment for all patients and a secondary assessment for a
subsample of patients. Cronbach's & alpha; and split-half-methods served as measures
of consistency and reliability. Correlations with other questionnaires were used
to determine convergent and divergent validity, and confirmatory factor analysis
was used for investigating factorial validity. We used paired-samples t-tests
for repeated assessments to investigate change sensitivity. ResultsWe found the
SUPA-Q to be highly consistent, and reliable and to demonstrate convergent, divergent,
and factorial validity. The comparison of SUPA-Q scores from repeated assessments
within a subsample of patients demonstrated the questionnaire's change sensitivity,
Cohen's d = 0.48. Moreover, an increase in SUPA-Q scores was associated with a
less positive mood, more anxiety, more body dissatisfaction, more tenseness, less
feelings of control, and more stress. DiscussionThe newly developed SUPA-Q may
help to accentuate the necessity to evaluate and address the acute urge to engage
in physical activity in patients with EDs in clinical practice and ultimately
support tailoring treatments to patients' unique symptom patterns. The questionnaire
is available at .

text: IntroductionEating disorders (EDs) are among the most severe mental disorders
in women and men, often associated with high symptom burden and significant limitations
in daily functioning, frequent comorbidities, chronic course of illness, and even
high mortality rates. At the same time, differences between men and women with
EDs remain poorly explored. MethodsIn this study, we compared 104 men to 104 diagnosis-matched
women with EDs regarding sociodemographic and clinical features. Using latent
class mixture modelling, we identified four distinct patient subgroups based on
their sociodemographic features. ResultsMen with EDs had significantly higher
odds than women to belong to a "single-childfree-working" class. Moreover, while
there were few overall differences in ED-related symptoms and general psychopathology
between men and women, single-childfree-working men with EDs presented with higher
general psychopathology symptoms than men in the other classes. DiscussionWe discuss
how considering sex and gender along with further sociodemographic differences
in EDs may help to improve ED diagnosis and treatment.

text: This study examined the dimensional structure of the German Eating Disorder
Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) in clinical groups of women with Anorexia Nervosa
(AN; N = 821), Bulimia Nervosa (BN; N = 573), and Binge-Eating Disorder (BED;
N = 359) using Exploratory Graph Analyses (EGA). The EGA yielded a 12-item-four-dimension
structure for the AN group (subscales “Restraint”, “Body Dissatisfaction”, “Preoccupation”,
“Importance”), a 20-item-five-dimension structure for the BN group (subscales
“Restraint”, “Body Dissatisfaction”, “Eating Concern”, “Preoccupation”, “Importance”),
and a 17-item-four-dimension structure for the BED group (subscales “Restraint”,
“Body Dissatisfaction”, “Concern”, “Importance”). This first investigation of
the EDE-Q's dimensional structure using EGA suggests that the original factor
model may be suboptimal for specific clinical ED samples and that alternative
scoring should be considered when screening specific cohorts or evaluating the
effects of interventions.

text: 'Objective: Phenotypical comparisons between individuals with obesity without
binge eating disorder (OB) and individuals with obesity and comorbid binge eating
disorder (OB + BED) are subject to ongoing investigations. At the same time, gender-related
differences have rarely been explored, raising the question whether men and women
with OB and OB + BED may require differently tailored treatments.Method: We retrospectively
compared pre- versus post-treatment data in a matched sample of n = 180 men and
n = 180 women with OB or OB + BED who received inpatient treatment.Results: We
found that men displayed higher weight loss than women independent of diagnostic
group. In addition, men with OB + BED showed higher weight loss than men with
OB after 7 weeks of treatment.Conclusions: The present findings add to an emerging
yet overall still sparse body of studies comparing phenotypical features and treatment
outcomes in men and women with OB and OB + BED; implications for further research
are discussed.Clinical Trial Registration: The study was prospectively registered
with the German Clinical Trial Register as part of application DRKS00028441.'
