Female gender, dissatisfaction with weight, and number of IBD related surgeries as independent risk factors for eating disorders among patients with inflammatory bowel diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prevalence and risk factors of eating disorders among patients with IBD are poorly described in existing literature. Early recognition and intervention may influence clinical outcomes in both physical and mental health. The primary aims of this study were to describe the prevalence and identify risk factors for eating disorders among patients with IBD using a validated questionnaire, the EAT-26.

Methods

The EAT-26 was administered via email as an anonymous, unpaid, online survey to 1589 patients with an electronic medical record coded diagnosis of IBD (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease) who had visited our Digestive Health Center in the last 3 years. Demographics and IBD characteristics were also included in our survey. A score of 20 or higher on the EAT-26 portion of the survey was considered a positive screen for eating disorder risk.

Results

Fifteen (4.8%) survey participants screened positively for ED risk. These 15 participants who screened positively had statistically significant differences in self-identified gender (93% female, p = 0.031), happiness with current weight (80% dissatisfied with their current weight and trying to lose weight, p < 0.01), prior eating disorder diagnosis (20%, p < 0.01), and number of IBD related surgeries (27% having 3 or more, p = 0.013).

Conclusions

This study identifies independent risk factors for eating disorder risk in patients with IBD including female gender, dissatisfaction with current weight, number of IBD related surgeries, and history of prior eating disorder diagnosis.

Project description:Background and aimsMelatonin is a pineal hormone that plays an important role as an endogenous synchronizer of circadian rhythms and energy metabolism. As this circadian component has been closely related to eating behavior, an important question on this topic would be whether melatonin administration could influence eating habits. However, this topic has been rarely studied in the literature in individuals with excessive weight and chronic circadian misalignment, such as shift workers. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the effects of exogenous melatonin administration on the quali/quantitative aspects and temporal distribution of food intake in female night workers with excessive weight (overweight and obesity). An additional aim is to evaluate the association of the referred outcomes with circadian misalignment and chronotype.MethodsA randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial was conducted with 27 female nursing professionals with excessive weight who worked permanent night shifts. The protocol was implemented under real-life conditions for 24 weeks, in two randomly allocated conditions (12 weeks of melatonin and 12 weeks of placebo). The quali/quantitative aspects of food intake (NOVA classification, total energy intake and the proportion of calories from macronutrients) and meal timing were assessed using food diaries. Timing for every meal recorded in the diaries was assessed to evaluate the temporal distribution of food intake. Generalized estimating equations were performed for each dependent variable.ResultsNo significant modifications in total energy intake, macronutrient distribution, types of foods consumed, and meal timing were observed after melatonin administration. Different levels of circadian misalignment and chronotype did not interfere with these results.ConclusionEating habits of female night workers with excessive weight remained unchanged after melatonin administration, and no association of these results with circadian misalignment and chronotype was found. These results suggest that the metabolic effects of melatonin may occur independently of food intake.
