Objective: We aim to determine how increasing the specificity of binge eating criteria affects the prevalence of self-reported binge eating among presurgical bariatric patients.Method: 197 women ages 20 to 65 being assessed for bariatric surgery with a BMI greater than 30 kg/m(2) were interviewed and completed the Eating and Exercise Examination.Results: The prevalence of self-reported binge eating was 55% (n = 109). The addition of the criterion 'more than a little loss of control/distress' reduced the rate to 23% (n = 45), a minimum of six servings of food reduced the rate to 34% (n = 67). The addition of a minimum frequency of twice per week for six months (DSM-VI) reduced the rate to 22% (n = 43), or once per week for three months (DSM-5) reduced the rate to 53% (n = 104).Discussion: More precise definitions and diagnostic criteria for binge eating may result in more consistent reports of prevalence levels of BED.
