Introduction to energy aspects of nutrition
Published in Geoffrey P. Webb, Nutrition, 2019
The term eating disorders is used to describe a range of abnormalities of feeding behaviour which are currently classified into four main conditions: anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED) and finally the largest category is other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED) which covers people who have some symptoms of these conditions but who do not meet the formal diagnostic criteria for one of the other three conditions.
Overview of the Research

I want to add here that there is also other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED), which describes an eating disturbance that may carry factors of any of the above described disorders but does not fit the clinical standards for diagnosis. These eating disturbances can be equally damaging to a woman’s physical and emotional wellness and risk going undetected or not seen as “true eating disorders.”
The Eating Disordered Couple

The Feeding and Eating Disorders section of the DSM-5 includes both Eating and Feeding Disorder diagnoses. These include six specific diagnoses: Pica, Rumination Disorder (RD), Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), Anorexia Nervosa (AN), Bulimia Nervosa (BN), and Binge Eating Disorder (BED). Included are also two non-specific diagnoses: Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED) and Unspecified Feeding or Eating Disorder (UFED).
Self-reported Alcohol Misuse Is Associated with Disordered Eating and Binge Eating Disorder in Adults

Feeding and eating disorders defined in the DSM-5 include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder (BED), other specified feeding and eating disorder (OSFED), and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). The co-occurrence of AUD and eating disorders may be driven by shared personality traits such as anxiety, perfectionism, and impulsivity (Bulik et al., 2004) though some types of eating disorders may carry a higher risk of co-occurring alcohol misuse. Adults with eating disorders involving binge eating and purging may have higher degrees of AUD and substance use compared to those with restrictive anorexia nervosa and the general population (Bulik et al., 2004; Fouladi et al., 2015). Other studies, however, have found increased substance use compared to the general population regardless of type of eating disorder (Gregorowski, Seedat, & Jordaan, 2013).
Cognitive rigidity and heightened attention to detail occur transdiagnostically in adolescents with eating disorders

Recent research has utilized the self-report DFlex in adolescent populations. Lang et al. (2015) compared cognitive styles between adolescents with AN and healthy controls, finding significantly heightened cognitive rigidity and attention to detail among adolescents with AN. However, to our knowledge, no published study has evaluated DFlex scores in a transdiagnostic adolescent sample. This is important because eating disorders typically onset during adolescence, and cognitive impairments have also been identified in other eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa (BN; Roberts et al., 2007). Moreover, the presence of cognitive impairments early in disorder development (e.g., during adolescence) may help elucidate why disordered eating patterns become entrenched for some individuals and hinder early change in treatment. Further, the degree to which these cognitive impairments are present among individuals with atypical eating disorders (e.g., other specified feeding or eating disorder [OSFED]), as well as how these cognitive impairments are associated with clinical impairment due to eating-disorder symptoms, is largely unknown.

The pilot was conducted in a Midwest primary care pediatrics practice, which serves a predominantly White population of youth who are evenly distributed on gender. This study was approved by the Mayo Clinic Institutional Review Board. No formal recruitment efforts were implemented. PCPs enrolled participants from referrals from colleagues or from interactions with patients on their own panels as part of standard medical care. Inclusion criteria included child and adolescent patients ages 7–18 with an eating disorder characterized by weight loss or failure to make expected weight gain. This included patients with anorexia nervosa, Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder (OSFED), and patients with Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) who resembled individuals with anorexia nervosa but did not endorse weight or shape concerns as a motivator for restrictive eating. Patients needed to have at least one caregiver with whom they lived the majority of the time willing to engage in treatment.
