Binge eating presence (vs. absence) defined as ≥1 episode in the 6 months prior to assessment on the Questionnaire on Eating and Weight Patterns – Adolescent Version (QEWP-A).

Non-imputed data (binge eating n = 11–16, no binge eating n = 99–126) adjusted for sex, race, baseline age, baseline BMI, respective baseline MetS component, and time in study.

Non-imputed data (binge eating n = 11–16, no binge eating n = 99–126) adjusted for sex, race, baseline age, baseline BMI, BMI change from baseline to follow-up, respective baseline MetS component, and time in study.

Imputed data (binge eating n = 24, no binge eating n = 156) adjusted for sex, race, baseline age, baseline BMI, BMI change from baseline to follow-up, respective baseline MetS component, and time in study.
