AB  - OBJECTIVE: Binge-eating disorder (BED) and subthreshold BED (SBED) are prevalent 
      in adults and associated with mental health problems including depression, 
      non-suicidal self-injury, lower quality of life, and suicidality. There is solid 
      evidence that binge-eating behaviors are also prevalent in adolescence, but 
      knowledge about mental health in community adolescents with BED of different 
      frequency thresholds is more limited. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and 
      mental health problems associated with SBED of low frequency and/or limited 
      duration compared with BED in a Danish community sample of adolescents. METHODS: 
      We included 2509 adolescents who completed the online survey of the 16-17-year 
      follow-up of the Copenhagen Child Cohort (CCC2000), including items on BED 
      symptoms approximating the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 
      (DSM-5) criteria, and items on mental health and quality of life. RESULTS: The 
      1-year prevalence of SBED was 2.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.0%-3.3%) with 
      a male:female ratio of 1:3.7; comparable to previous findings on BED in the same 
      sample. SBED was also comparable to BED concerning cross-sectional associations 
      with overall mental health problems, lower health-related quality of life, 
      depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation, whereas no associations were seen 
      with non-suicidal self-injury after Holm-Bonferroni correction. In both groups, 
      thoughts and behaviors concerning food and weight interfered significantly with 
      daily life. DISCUSSION: SBED and BED were equally prevalent in this adolescent 
      community sample, and similarly associated with indicators of poor mental health. 
      The findings indicate that community adolescents reporting symptoms approximating 
      clinical criteria of BED need intervention irrespectively of symptom frequency or 
      duration. PUBLIC SIGNIFICANCE: This study adds knowledge to the field by 
      comparing BED of low frequency and/or limited duration ("subthreshold BED," SBED) 
      with full-syndrome BED in adolescents and showing that SBED in adolescence is 
      both prevalent and associated with poor mental health to a similar extent as that 
      of BED. Findings indicate that self-reported symptoms according to clinical 
      criteria of SBED and BED alike constitute a public health problem and point to 
      youngsters in need of intervention.
