This study compared levels of depression, anxiety and self-esteem in binging and nonbinging obese, adult females in a hospital weight-loss program.
Participants (n=43; mean age=43.5 yrs) completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI) upon entering the program (Week 0). A subgroup (n=15) completed the same inventories on Week 4 and Week 8.
Binge eaters had significantly higher levels of depression (p<0.002) and lower levels of self-esteem (p<0.001) on Week 0. For the subgroup that remained in the program through Week 8, significantly higher depression levels (p<0.01) and anxiety levels (p<0.05) persisted for the binge eaters.
Results indicate that obese binge eaters have more psychological distress than nonbingers, and that these differences tend to persist even during weight loss.
本研究比较了参加医院减肥项目的成年肥胖女性中,暴饮暴食型与非暴饮暴食型者的抑郁、焦虑水平及自尊水平。
参与者(n = 43;平均年龄 = 43.5岁)在进入项目时(第0周)完成了贝克抑郁量表(BDI)、贝克焦虑量表(BAI)和库珀史密斯自尊量表(CSEI)。一个亚组(n = 15)在第4周和第8周完成了相同的量表。
在第0周,暴饮暴食者的抑郁水平显著更高(p < 0.002),自尊水平更低(p < 0.001)。对于在项目中持续到第8周的亚组,暴饮暴食者的抑郁水平(p < 0.01)和焦虑水平(p < 0.05)仍然显著更高。
结果表明,肥胖的暴饮暴食者比非暴饮暴食者有更多的心理困扰,而且即使在减肥期间,这些差异也往往持续存在。
