Hippocampal Subfields in Adolescent Anorexia Nervosa
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-25)
Patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) exhibit volume reduction in cerebral gray matter (GM), and several studies report reduced hippocampus volume. The hippocampal subfields (HS) are functionally and structurally distinct, and appear to respond differently to neuropathology. The aim of this study was to investigate HS volumes in adolescent females with restrictive AN compared to a healthy age-matched ...
Body composition and physical fitness in women with bulimia nervosa or binge-eating disorder.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-02-23)
<p><i>Objective</i>: Knowledge about physical fitness in women with bulimia nervosa (BN) or binge‐eating disorder (BED) is sparse. Previous studies have measured physical activity largely through self‐report, and physical fitness variables are mainly restricted to body mass index (BMI) and bone mineral density. We expanded the current knowledge in these groups by including a wider range of physical ...
Six-year positive effects of a mindfulness-based intervention on mindfulness, coping and well-being in medical and psychology students; Results from a randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-24)
Longitudinal research investigating the enduring impact of mindfulness training is scarce. This study investigates the six-year effects of a seven-week mindfulness-based course, by studying intervention effects in the trajectory of dispositional mindfulness and coping skills, and the association between those change trajectories and subjective well-being at six-year follow-up. 288 Norwegian medical ...
Effects of cognitive behavior therapy on eating behaviors, affective symptoms, and weight loss after bariatric surgery: a randomized clinical trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-15)
<p><i>Background</i>: The long-term effects of presurgical psychological interventions on weight loss, eating behaviors, affective symptoms, and health-related quality of life remain uncertain. This study aimed to assess the 4-year effects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) before bariatric surgery on these outcomes.</p>
<p><i>Methods</i>: Single-center randomized controlled parallel-group ...
Managing Risk of Non-Communicable Diseases in Women with Bulimia Nervosa or Binge Eating Disorders: A Randomized Trial with 12 Months Follow-Up
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-03)
Persons with bulimia nervosa (BN) or binge eating disorder (BED) have an elevated risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). However, lowering this risk is rarely addressed in standard cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT). We aimed to compare CBT with an intervention combining physical exercise and dietary therapy (PED-t), and hypothesized that the PED-t would do better than CBT in lowering the risk ...
Treatment effects on compulsive exercise and physical activity in eating disorders
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-13)
Background:<br> Dysfunctional thoughts- and use of physical activity (PA) are core symptoms of the eating disorders
(ED) bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED). The compulsive desire for PA complicates a favourable
treatment outcome; hence, regular, adapted PA led by personnel with competence in exercise science is rarely part
of treatment of BN and BED. The present study compared ...
Are adolescent elite athletes less psychologically distressed than controls? A cross-sectional study of 966 Norwegian adolescents
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-16)

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of psychological distress among young elite athletes and age-matched controls and whether prevalence figures may be attributed to perfectionism and eating problems.</p>
