Eating in response to negative emotions (EE) may be an explanatory factor of the weight regain of many dieters. This narrative review presents evidence on possible causes of EE and the association of EE with depression and obesity and discusses implications of these findings for the treatment of obesity.
Possible causes of EE are high dietary restraint, poor interoceptive awareness, alexithymia, emotion dysregulation and a reversed hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) stress axis. EE may be the outcome of inadequate parenting or depressive feelings in interaction with genetic susceptibility. There is also robust evidence that EE is a mediator between depression and obesity. The association of EE with depression and poor emotion regulation skills suggests that the treatment of obese people with high EE should not focus on calorie-restricted diets but on emotion regulation skills. The DEBQ (Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire) enables such a matched treatment of obesity.
进食以应对负面情绪(EE)可能是许多节食者体重反弹的一个解释因素。本叙述性综述介绍了 EE 的可能原因,以及 EE 与抑郁和肥胖之间的关联,并讨论了这些发现对肥胖治疗的意义。
EE 的可能原因包括高饮食克制、较差的内感受意识、述情障碍、情绪调节障碍和反向下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺(HPA)应激轴。EE 可能是不良养育或抑郁情绪与遗传易感性相互作用的结果。还有强有力的证据表明,EE 是抑郁和肥胖之间的中介。EE 与抑郁和情绪调节技能差之间的关联表明,对 EE 较高的肥胖患者的治疗不应侧重于限制热量的饮食,而应侧重于情绪调节技能。DEBQ(荷兰饮食行为问卷)可以实现这种针对肥胖的匹配治疗。
