AB  - OBJECTIVE: To explore whether children of mothers with pre-pregnancy binge eating 
      (BE) symptoms have more behavioral difficulties compared with those without and 
      whether associations are moderated by ED symptoms and other maternal health and 
      social factors measured during childhood. METHOD: Pre-pregnancy BE symptoms were 
      collected by the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health at Survey 1 (in 
      1996) and/or at Survey 2 (in 2000) using questions mapped to DSM BE criterion 1. 
      In 2016/7, 2180 women from the 1973-78 cohort provided data on externalizing and 
      internalizing behavior, measured by Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, on 
      4054 of their children (2-12 years) in the Mothers and their Children's Health 
      study. Covariates were markers of other ED symptoms, sociodemographic, social 
      support, and mental health factors collected proximally to the child outcomes. 
      Hierarchical multivariable regression models, using generalized estimating 
      equations accounting for clustering of children within mothers, were used. 
      RESULTS: Pre-pregnancy BE symptoms were associated with child behavior, with 
      associations only moderated after adjustment for proximal markers of ED (girls 
      internalizing behavior, b (95%CI) .30 (-.02, .61); boys externalizing behavior 
      .34 (-.04, .73)) or social support (girls externalizing behavior 0.26 (-.08, 
      .61)). Pre-pregnancy BE symptoms were not associated with boys internalizing 
      behavior (-.27 (-.02, 0.57)). DISCUSSION: Studies with repeated ED measures 
      should test hypotheses that these associations vary by timing of ED measurement. 
      Identification of young women at risk of BE symptoms pre-pregnancy, as well as 
      when children are older, may enable health services, treatment programs, and 
      supports to minimize longer term effects on children. PUBLIC SIGNIFICANCE 
      STATEMENT: A history of binge eating symptoms up to 10 years pre-pregnancy in 
      mothers is associated with behavior problems in their girls and boys at average 
      age of 7. However, the association is moderated by behaviors of eating disorders 
      and social support in the mothers during childhood. Identification of ED symptoms 
      prior to pregnancy, and then after childbirth, might enable health services to 
      intervene to maximize child and mother outcomes.
