Adolescence and youth are critical periods in which alcohol consumption is usually initiated, especially in the form of binge drinking. In recent years, it is increasingly common to find adolescents and young people who also present binge behaviors towards unhealthy food with the aim of alleviating their anxiety (emotional eating) and/or because of impulsive personality. Despite the social and health relevance of this issue, it remains scarcely studied and more preventive research needs to be developed. Our meta-analysis study aimed to evaluate the relationship and co-occurrence of both binge behaviors during adolescence and young adulthood to clarify the link between binge drinking and eating. Selective literature search on different online databases was performed. We identified discrete but significant results regarding the direct association between binge drinking and binge eating in correlation coefficients and odds ratio. Future research should focus on the common psychological background and motives behind these problematic behaviors owing to their clinical implications for effective prevention and treatment.
青春期和青年期是通常开始饮酒的关键时期，尤其是以狂饮的形式。近年来，越来越常见的是发现青少年和年轻人也会狂吃不健康的食物，以缓解他们的焦虑（情绪性进食）和/或由于冲动的个性。尽管这个问题具有社会和健康方面的重要性，但它仍然很少被研究，需要开展更多的预防研究。我们的荟萃分析研究旨在评估青少年和青年期的两种狂食行为之间的关系和共同发生，以阐明狂饮和饮食之间的联系。在不同的在线数据库上进行了选择性文献搜索。我们在相关系数和优势比方面发现了关于狂饮和暴食之间直接关联的离散但显著的结果。由于这些问题行为对有效预防和治疗具有临床意义，未来的研究应该侧重于这些行为背后的共同心理背景和动机。
