Description
Nagaia Madini and co-authors reviewed in 2026 the factors that make women and transgender people vulnerable to binge eating disorder across life, alongside the sources of resilience that protect them. The disorder involves repeated episodes of eating large amounts with a sense of lost control, and it carries heavy physical and mental health costs. Shame and stigma often keep people from seeking help at all.
The review moves through childhood, adolescence, pregnancy, and menopause, where hormonal shifts meet social expectations about femininity and body shape. For transgender people, gender identity, discrimination, and hormone treatment add further layers of risk. The authors call for prevention and care shaped to each life stage, plus better training so services become genuinely welcoming.
