QoL impairment, overeating with loss of control), disordered eating, binge eating
Based on the results of the present study, QoL is associated with EOE in 7-14-year old children. Children with a high tendency of EOE had a lower QoL compared to children with a lower tendency of EOE. However, due to the study design, it was not possible to determine causality.The present findings are essential in line with current sparse evidence, suggesting that binge eating (overeating with loss of control) is a marker of QoL impairment [The rationale behind the present study was a lack of studies within this field in general and, in addition, a lack of studies investigating Danish children and adolescents, while the hypothesis was based on the existing literature in conjecturing a negative association between QoL and disordered eating [Current evidence investigating QoL and EOE in children and adolescents is scarce, and most evidence investigating this issue included adolescents and adults. Identified previous studies primarily examined the relationship between binge eating and QoL in adolescents and children [
