Note. BED = patients with binge-eating disorder; NBO = patients without binge-eating disorder; BMI = Body Mass Index; EOQ = Emotional Overeating Questionnaire; EOQ-Negative Emotions = EOQ Negative Emotions items averaged. EOQ scores range from 0 to 6; 0 = No days, 1 = 1–5 days, 2 = 6–12 days, 3 = 12–15 days, 4 = 16–22 days, 5 = 23–27 days, 6 = Every day
