Parental Binge Eating and Child Binge Eating and Weight‐Control Behaviors: Cross‐Sectional and Longitudinal Findings From the <scp>EAT</scp> 2010–2018 Study
Children of parents with binge eating appear to have elevated risk of extreme weight-control behaviors during adolescence and binge eating in young adulthood. Clinicians should assess whether eating psychopathology extends to other family members, and offer additional support to parents with binge eating. Further research is needed to identify risk factors in the children of parents with binge eating and to assess strategies for prevention.
