Top takeaways: Disordered Eating Comorbidities Associated with Obesity in Children. Shown are the top takeaways from the OMA regarding disordered eating comorbidities associated with obesity in children.

1.	Binge eating disorder (BED) is defined as excessive overeating that feels out of control, becomes a regular occurrence, and is without recurrent inappropriate compensatory behaviors (i.e. purging, restricting).
2.	Risk factors for BED include: weight-based teasing/bullying, sexual and gender minority youth, body dissatisfaction and adverse childhood experiences.
3.	Bulimia nervosa (BN) is defined as an obsessive desire to lose weight and is typically characterized by overeating followed by self-induced vomiting.
4.	The diagnosis of BN is made if the patient exhibits BN episodes and compensatory behaviors at least 1 time per week for at least 3 months along with body dissatisfaction and overvaluation of self and weight.
5.	Night eating syndrome (NES) is defined as the delay in the circadian intake of food with 25% or more of intake in evening or night.
6.	There is an increased risk for NES with obesity, other eating disorders, anxiety, depression, emotional or substance abuse, and insomnia.
7.	Sleep related eating disorder (SRED) is defined as episodes of dysfunctional and involuntary eating and drinking that occur after a sleep arousal during the main sleep period and is associated with diminished levels of consciousness and subsequent recall.
