Which of these is associated with binge-eating disorder?
• A. Bingeing and purging
• B. Bingeing but not purging
C. Being at least 30 percent underweight
D. Being at least 30 percent overweight



Answer :

Answer:The correct answer is B. Bingeing but not purging.

Binge-eating disorder (BED) is characterized by recurring episodes of binge eating, which involves consuming large amounts of food in a short period of time, accompanied by feelings of loss of control and guilt. Unlike bulimia nervosa, individuals with BED do not engage in purging behaviors, such as self-induced vomiting, laxatives, or diuretics, to compensate for the binge eating.

While individuals with BED may be overweight or obese, being at least 30% overweight is not a diagnostic criterion for BED. Similarly, being underweight is not a characteristic of BED.
