AB  - Objective: It is not clear whether binge eating (BE) behavior is associated with 
      body composition independently of body mass index (BMI). Our aim has been to 
      evaluate the BMI-independent contribution of BE severity and BE status on the 
      total amount of fat mass and abdominal fat distribution in a large sample of 
      participants.Method: We performed a cross-sectional study among 8524 participants 
      followed at a nutritional center. BMI and waist circumference (WC) were measured, 
      body fat (BF) was estimated by skinfold measurement, and abdominal visceral (VAT) 
      and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissues were measured by ultrasonography. BE was 
      assessed using the Binge Eating Scale (BES). The association between the 
      continuous BES score (BE severity) and adiposity was assessed in the whole sample 
      after adjustment for BMI and other confounders. The effect of BE status on 
      adiposity was also assessed by matching binge eaters (BES >/= 18), for sex, age, 
      and BMI, with non-binge eaters (BES < 18).Results: We found that 17.7% of the 
      participants were binge eaters. Continuous BES score was associated with 
      increasing WC (0.03 cm, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.02 to 0.05 every 1 BES 
      unit, p < 0.001) and decreasing BF (0.01%, 95% CI, -0.02 to -0.00 every 1 BES 
      unit, p = 0.003). No association was found between BE severity and VAT and SAT. 
      After matching, the BF of binge eaters was 0.29% (95% CI, -0.50 to -0.07, p = 
      0.01) lower than that of non-binge eaters.Conclusions: Given the very small 
      effect size, BE severity and status are not associated in a biologically 
      meaningful manner with BF content and distribution.
