SO328 Brief Oral Poster PresentationEating DisordersCross-sectional study # Binge eating disorder during pregnancy in Tunisia: prevalence, body image, and psychosocial predictors BINGE EATING DISORDER DURING PREGNANCY IN TUNISIA: PREVALENCE, BODY IMAGE AND PSYCHOSOCIAL PREDICTORS Presenter: Amjed Ben Haouala Country: Tunisia Institution: Psychiatric Department of Monastir Session: 3710 - PARALLEL SHORT ORAL POSTER SESSIONS: EATING DISORDERS Date: Fri, 25.09.2026 Binge eating disorder was identified in more than one in eight pregnant Tunisian women, with sensitivity to social judgment, low socioeconomic status, and the impact of body image on mood emerging as independent predictors. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of binge eating disorder (BED) during pregnancy, which has been insufficiently studied in North African populations, and its associated sociodemographic, anthropometric, body image, and psychosocial factors. This cross-sectional study included 300 pregnant women; BED was assessed using the Binge Eating Scale (BES), with a cutoff score above 17. Body image was measured using the Figurines Rating Scale (FRS), and psychosocial variables were assessed using the Antenatal Perceived Stress Inventory (APSI), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Spiegel Sleep Scale, and the Relationship Adjustment Scale (EER); independent predictors were identified through bivariate analyses and multiple logistic and linear regression. The mean BES score was 7.09 ± 8.1, with a BED prevalence of 13.3% and severe forms accounting for 4%. Low educational attainment (p=0.009), low socioeconomic status (p=0.024), multiparity (p=0.014), prepregnancy body dissatisfaction (p<0.001), sensitivity to social judgment (p=0.002), and the impact of body image on mood (p<0.001) were significantly associated with higher BES scores; BES scores were negatively correlated with self-esteem (Rosenberg; rho=-0.284; p<0.001) and sleep quality (p=0.003). Multivariable logistic regression identified three independent predictors: sensitivity to social judgment (odds ratio, OR=2.91; 95% confidence interval, CI 1.33 to 6.38; p=0.008), low socioeconomic status (OR=2.35; 95% CI 1.19 to 4.66; p=0.014), and the impact of body image on mood (OR=1.94; 95% CI 1.23 to 3.05; p=0.004). The authors note that BED during pregnancy is shaped by body image distress, perceived stress, and socioeconomic vulnerability, emphasizing the need for systematic perinatal screening and psychosocial support in Tunisian obstetric units.
