Preliminary Evidence of the Association Between Binge Eating and Preeclampsia in Pregnant U.S. Military Active‐Duty Service Women

Results indicated that a substantial majority of pregnant active-duty Service women in this sample reported binge eating. Binge eating and stress were both associated with increased odds of preeclampsia. While these relationships need further exploration, identifying high levels of stress or binge eating early in pregnancy could be an important addition to screening and prenatal care.
