Alcohol and Nicotine Use among Adolescents: An Observational Study in a Sicilian Cohort of High School Students

2022

In recent years, the mode of alcoholic intake known as binge drinking (BD) has become a common practice, especially among adolescents who, due to socio-environmental motives, tend to reach a rapid state of drunkenness. This drunkeness leads to alterations in brain areas responsible for executive functions and cognitive processes, as well as to the genesis of factors that predispose to lasting addiction. Likewise, nicotine leads to a comparable degree of addiction. On this basis, the aim of this research was to evaluate, on a cohort of 349 high school students (15–17 years old) in the province of Palermo, the following: (I) the drinking model of alcoholic beverages; (II) the use of nic…

Negausīgas ēšanas saistība ar emociju regulāciju un apzinātību

2016

Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, kādas savstarpējas saistības pastāv starp negausīgas ēšanas, emociju regulācijas un apzinātības fenomeniem. Pētījumā piedalījās 106 respondenti. Lai noteiktu šīs saistības, tika pielietotas trīs aptaujas: Negausīgas ēšanas skala (The Binge Eating Scale); Emociju regulācijas aptauja (Emotion Regulation Questionnaire); Apzinātības piecu aspektu aptauja (Five Facet Mindfulness Scale). Veiktā pētījuma dati apstiprina, ka pastāv statistiski nozīmīga saistība starp negausīgas ēšanas tendenci un grūtībām emociju regulācijā, kā arī saistība starp augstu apzinātības līmeni un negausīgas ēšanas tieksmes trūkumu.

Binge eating and obesity

2018

Despite there being several pathways leading to obesity [1], there is evidence that binge eating may be an important contributor to its development [2]. Excessive food consumption without compensation increases the risk for the development of obesity, which in turn is associated with numerous complications [3]. Obesity has been found to develop several years after the onset of binge eating, and individuals who were overweight prior to the onset of binge eating tend to gain even more weight during adulthood [4]. Binge eating is defined as eating a larger amount of food than normal during a short period of time (within any 2‐hour period) and, during this time, experiencing a loss of control o…

Social stress under binge-like alcohol withdrawal in adolescence: evidence of cannabidiol effect on maladaptive plasticity in rats.

2022

Abstract Background Alcohol binge drinking may compromise the functioning of the nucleus accumbens (NAc), i.e. the neural hub for processing reward and aversive responses. Methods As socially stressful events pose particular challenges at developmental stages, this research applied the resident–intruder paradigm as a model of social stress, to highlight behavioural neuroendocrine and molecular maladaptive plasticity in rats at withdrawal from binge-like alcohol exposure in adolescence. In search of a rescue agent, cannabidiol (CBD) was selected due to its favourable effects on alcohol- and stress-related harms. Results Binge-like alcohol exposed intruder rats displayed a compromised defensi…

Power of Cognition: How Dysfunctional Cognitions and Schemas Influence Eating Behavior in Daily Life Among Individuals With Eating Disorders

2018

Eating disorders (EDs) are characterized by marked cognitive distortions and maladaptive schemas. Cognitive models of EDs highlight the direct impact of cognitive dysfunctions on eating-related disturbances, insofar as specific cognitive contents such as thoughts about diet rules and food or loss of control may trigger disturbed eating behavior. Moreover, early maladaptive schemas that reflect perfectionist standards and relate to achievement and performance seem to be associated with disturbed eating, e.g., via their impact on situation-specific appraisals. However, so far, no study has investigated these assumptions. Hence, the present study sought to demonstrate whether and how cognitive…

The Binge Eating Scale: Structural Equation Competitive Models, Invariance Measurement Between Sexes, and Relationships With Food Addiction, Impulsiv…

2019

Introduction: The Binge Eating Scale (BES) is a widely used self-report questionnaire to identify compulsive eaters. However, research on the dimensions and psychometric properties of the BES is limited. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the properties of the Spanish version of the BES. Methods: Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFAs) were carried out to verify the BES factor structure in a sample of Spanish college students (N = 428, 75.7% women; age range = 18–30). An invariance measurement routine was carried out across sexes, the latent means were compared, and estimates of reliability and convergent and discriminant validity were presented. Results: A one-factor model fit the…

Reduction of drive for thinness and body dissatisfaction in people with self-reported dysregulated eating behaviors after intermittent theta burst st…

2023

AimThis study aimed to explore the effect of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) of the right and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in people with self-reported dysregulated eating behaviors but without a diagnosis of eating disorders (EDs).MethodsParticipants were randomly divided into two equivalent groups according to the side (right or left) of the hemisphere to be stimulated and they were tested before and after a single iTBS session. Outcome measurements were scores on self-report questionnaires assessing psychological dimensions related to eating behaviors (EDI-3), anxiety (STAI-Y), and tonic electrodermal activity.ResultsThe iTBS interfered with both psychological …

Relationship between dysfunctional eating patterns and binge drinking in young people and associated risk factors

2022

La joventut (compresa entre els 18 i 30 anys) es considera un període de vulnerabilitat, en què és freqüent observar trastorns alimentaris, consum de drogues i una major tendència a buscar noves sensacions i comportaments de risc, entre moltes altres conductes. En concret, hi ha dos comportaments molt prevalents en els joves i s'associen amb conseqüències de salut molt negatives: el consum de menjar ultraprocessat i el consum d'alcohol. Tot i això, el problema no rau només en el tipus de consum (és a dir, beure alcohol o menjar menjar ràpid), sinó també en com es consumeix l'alcohol o el menjar. L'afartament es caracteritza per la ingesta de grans quantitats de menjar (afartament de menjar)…
