Exploring the intersection of multiple social determinants of health and disordered eating behaviors in a population‐based sample in the United States

Objective Disordered eating behaviors (DEBs) have long‐term, deleterious effects on health and are more prevalent among socially marginalized groups, likely as a result of systemic inequities across social determinants of health (SDoH). This exploratory study aimed to identify subgroups of emerging...

Description
Summary:Objective Disordered eating behaviors (DEBs) have long‐term, deleterious effects on health and are more prevalent among socially marginalized groups, likely as a result of systemic inequities across social determinants of health (SDoH). This exploratory study aimed to identify subgroups of emerging adults characterized by main and interactive associations between SDoH and two forms of DEB (binge eating, extreme unhealthy weight control behaviors). Method Participants (n = 1568; age 22.2 ± 2.1 years) from the United States were drawn from the EAT 2010–2018 longitudinal study. Conditional inference tree (CIT) analyses derived main and intersecting SDoH related to DEB across 33 input variables collected during adolescence and emerging adulthood. Results The binge eating CIT revealed five subgroups (prevalence: 6.3–23.2%) shaped by variables collected during emerging adulthood: appearance‐based teasing (p
