The mediation analysis found functional gastrointestinal symptoms to be a significant mediator for the association between childhood maltreatment and binge...

The mediation analysis found functional gastrointestinal symptoms to be a significant mediator for the association between childhood maltreatment and binge eating.
Conclusion: The experience of childhood maltreatment increases the probability of binge eating. Additionally, the occurrence of functional gastrointestinal symptoms significantly mediated the relationship between childhood maltreatment and binge eating. (Less)
