Introduction: Binge eating disorder is characterized by the presence of recurrent
binge eating episodes in a short period of time, accompanied by loss of control. This
disorder is the most frequent of all eating disorders in obese people, both adults and
children. Objective: The objective of this study was to obtain prevalence data for binge
eating disorder in a sample of obese children, users of a specialized pediatric unit in
the treatment of childhood obesity. Material and Methods: A sample had 70 children
and adolescents aged 9 to 16, with a mean age of 12 years attending a pediatric ward
in the General Hospital of Valencia. To carry out the evaluation the following
instruments were used, Diagnostic Interview for Binge Eating Disorder (SCID-IV),
Binge Eating Disorder Scale Child (C-BED) and Questionnaire of eating patterns and
weight (QEWP). Results: After the assessment, 6% of the clinical sample was
diagnosed with binge eating disorder according to criteria established by the DSM-IVTR,
and 14% showed subclinical forms of the diagnosis. Conclusions: The results are
in line with previous studies that highlight the necessity of assessing these disorders in
specialized units in the treatment of obesity. [-]
