(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 ...
The PED-t trial protocol: The effect of physical exercise – and dietary therapy compared with cognitive behavior therapy in treatment of bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Study protocol of a randomized controlled trial.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-12)
Background: <br> Sufferers from bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED) underestimate the severity risk of

seek professional help and only 50% respond to current treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
The impetus for the present trial is to explore a ...

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 ...

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 ...
Profiles of Perfectionism Among Adolescents Attending Specialized Elite- and Ordinary Lower Secondary Schools: A Norwegian Cross-Sectional Comparative Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-06)
The versatile construct of perfectionism has been heavily debated, e.g., its nature or measurement constituents, how it influences performances or, most importantly, our health. Conventional linear analyses seem inadequate to address such challenges. Hence, we used a latent variable and a person-centered approach to identify different patterns of perfectionism, and their relationships with psychological ...
