Abstract

Eating disorders (EDs) are a group of disorders characterized by altered eating behaviors and/or the emergence of behaviors pertaining to weight control. Some studies report a relationship between coping strategies adopted in the face of stress and EDs. However, the latest review on this topic was carried out in 2008 by Quiles & Terol. A systematic review of studies that have investigated the relationship between coping strategies and EDs in clinical (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder) and non-clinical populations, aged 12–25 years has been conducted. Articles in English and Spanish were selected from Web of Science and Psycinfo databases in the last 15 years. Eighteen articles were finally included in the review. The results show a higher use of negative, avoidant, and emotion-focused coping strategies in populations with eating disorders or with high scores on questionnaires; additionally, results uncovered a higher use of positive coping strategies in populations without eating disorders or with low scores on questionnaires measuring ED symptomatology.

期刊介绍： Eating Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing human research on the etiology, prevention, and treatment of obesity, binge eating, and eating disorders in adults and children. Studies related to the promotion of healthy eating patterns to treat or prevent medical conditions (e.g., hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cancer) are also acceptable. Two types of manuscripts are encouraged: (1) Descriptive studies establishing functional relationships between eating behaviors and social, cognitive, environmental, attitudinal, emotional or biochemical factors; (2) Clinical outcome research evaluating the efficacy of prevention or treatment protocols.
