Binge-eating disorder is described as eating a large amount of food in a short time, feeling out of control while doing so, and feeling remorse or guilt afterward. Binge-eating disorder is the most common eating disorder in the United States, and it can be severe and life-threatening if it leads to heart disease or diabetes.
The researchers looked at data from 11,025 children aged nine to eleven who were part of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study, the country s most extensive long-term brain development study.
The kids were asked questions about how much time they spent on six different screen time types, such as television, social media, and texting. Parents were asked about their children s binge-eating habits, including the extent and characteristics of overeating and the associated anxiety.
