Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Context and relevance. Obesity is a non—communicable epidemic of the 21st century, gaining momentum among both children and adults in all countries. Studying the social and psychological factors of obesity is one of the key ways to increase the effectiveness of obesity prevention and treatment. Goal. To evaluate the influence of communicative dysfunctions in the parental family of obese patients on the formation of eating disorders. Hypothesis. Communicative dysfunctions in the parental family contribute to the emergence of emotional eating disorders as a strategy for coping with stress. Methods and materials. The study involved 38 patients aged 18 to 59 years (M = 33,4; SD = 12,3) with an established diagnosis of obesity (BMI from 30,0 to 55,5, M = 37,4, SD = 7,2), 24 of them were women, 14 were men. The following methods were used in the study: The Family Emotional Communication Questionnaire (SEC; A.B. Kholmogorova, S.V. Volikova, M.G.Sorokova, 2016); The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ, T. van Strien, 1986); The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI, A. T. Beck, 1961); The Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20, G. J. Taylor, 1985) and a diagnostic interview with respondents. Results. The results confirmed the hypothesis of the tendency of obese patients to an emotionogenic type of eating disorders and the contribution of communicative dysfunctions in the family to these disorders. High rates of depressive symptoms were recorded, as well as obese respondents having problems recognizing their own feelings. Conclusions. It is shown that it is necessary to further study the family factors of eating disorders according to the emotionogenic type, which can contribute to the prevention of obesity through psychotherapy of parents, teachers and health professionals, as well as to improve comprehensive programs of care for obese patients and their families.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
