Binge-eating disorder (BED) was linked with a broad range of other illnesses, with the strongest associations related to the endocrine and circulatory systems.
Individuals with BED had a 2.5-times increased risk of also having an endocrine disorder and a 1.9-times increased risk of having a circulatory system disorder. Among individuals with BED, those who were also obese had a 1.5-times increased risk of having a respiratory disease and a 2.6-times increased risk of having a gastrointestinal disease than those who were not obese.
The findings may help improve detection of BED and improve the health of affected individuals.
