Abstract

An epidemiological study of adolescents aged 12 to 19 regarding their eating habits showed that binge eaters (BE) possess irregular eating habits such as avoiding meals, eating snacks and sweets, and lacking a balanced diet. They also feel too fat and are more prone to depression than the non-binge eaters (NBE).
