ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIM:
The main aim of this study was to evaluate if the binge eating disorders (BEDs) related to obesity were associated with the severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).METHODS:
Severely obese patients who had been referred for bariatric surgery were included in this study at the Nice University Hospital. All patients underwent a liver biopsy at the time of surgery. Between 2008 and 2015, 388 patients had an assessable Bulimia Test (BULIT) self-questionnaire at the time of surgery. A subgroup (n = 183), between 2011 and 2015, also responded to a Beck Depression Inventory, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and a Fatigue Impact Scale autoquestionnaire. A control group of 29 healthy people matched by age and gender was included.RESULTS:
Among the 388 obese patients (median age 40 years, body mass index 41.7 kg/m2, 81% women), 14 patients had a "probable diagnosis" of BED, and 47 patients had a "high risk" of developing a BED according to the BULIT. Obese patients had significantly more severe BED, depression, anxiety, and fatigue compared to controls. Steatosis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, or fibrosis was not associated with BED. Similarly, the severity of NAFLD was not associated with depression, anxiety, or fatigue.CONCLUSIONS:
Severely obese patients had more severe BED, depression, anxiety, and fatigue than lean subjects independent of the severity of NAFLD.
