Are affective states associated with disordered eating behaviors in the daily lives of sexual minority and heterosexual young women?: an ecological momentary assessment study
Sexual minority and heterosexual women generally showed similar affect-disordered eating patterns, but several critical differences were noted. In particular, among young sexual minority women, higher positive affect was not associated with lower likelihood of loss of control eating and dietary restraint, whereas it was for heterosexual women. Future research considering how unique sociocultural pressures (eg, heterosexist discrimination, community norms) impact sexual minority women could improve understanding of disordered eating for this at-risk and understudied group.
