Brain scans of 9- to 10-year-old children with an eating disorder that causes uncontrollable binge eating have shown that their brains are less affected than their unaffected peers, according to a study led by the University of Southern California.
Binge eating disorder affects approximately 3-5% of the U.
The recently published study was published on the website of the journal Psychiatry Research
"In children with binge eating disorder, we found abnormalities in the development of regions of the brain that are associated with reward and the ability to impulsively or inhibit reward," said Stuart Murray, Della's Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Keck School of Medicine of USC.
"These kids are very, very sensitive to rewards, especially high-calorie, high-sugar foods
Eating disorders increase among young adults during pandemic
Experts say eating disorders have surged in young people during the pandemic, as have hospitalizations
Binge eating disorder puts people at risk for obesity, metabolic syndrome, abnormal heart function, and suicidal thoughts
For the study, Murray and his colleagues analyzed brain scans and other data from 71 children diagnosed with binge eating disorder and 74 children without binge eating disorder in a study called "Adolescent Brain and Cognition".
In children with binge eating disorder, they found increased gray matter density in areas that are normally "pruned" during healthy brain development
"This study has shown me that binge eating disorder is present in the brain, even from a very young age," Murray said
