Introduction: Binge eating disorder (BED) is more prevalent in patients who are candidates for bariatric surgery. However, little is known if compulsion is associated with metabolic changes. Objective: To evaluate the association between binge eating disorder and cardiometabolic risk factors in patients who are candidates for bariatric surgery. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, carried out with preoperative patients of bariatric surgery, collecting anthropometric, socioeconomic data, overweight time, binge eating and cardiometabolic risk factors (lipid and glycemic profile). Metabolic syndrome was determined according to the criteria of the International Diabetes Federation. To determine the BED, the Periodic Food Compulsion Scale was applied. Result: The sample consisted of 159 preoperative patients of bariatric surgery, with an average age of 39 years, 76.7% women, 64.2% non-singles, 75.5% income below four minimum wages, 42, 1% completed high school and 56.6% had grade III obesity. The prevalence of BED was 47.2% (34% moderate and 13.2% severe) and the metabolic syndrome was present in 63.3% of individuals. We observed a statistically significant association between BED with metabolic syndrome (p=0.016) and self-reported binge eating (p=0.000). Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of BED among patients’ candidates for bariatric surgery, as well as an association with metabolic syndrome and reported binge eating.
