| Abstract |
To determine whether disordered eating may be problematic in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). We contrasted the eating behaviors and attitudes in 50 newly diagnosed NIDDM patients with 50 age-, sex-, and weight-matched control subjects. Although 14% of diabetic subjects versus 4% of nondiabetic subjects reported episodes of binge eating (P < 0.10), there was no difference between diabetic and nondiabetic subjects in the prevalence with which they met criteria for binge eating disorder. Diabetic patients with a history of binge eating were significantly heavier, had younger age at diagnosis, and had more problems with eating in response to situational and emotional cues than did diabetic patients who did not binge. No support was found for greater prevalence of binge eating disorder in newly diagnosed NIDDM patients than in matched nondiabetic control subjects. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 June 2013.
All research outputs
#8,537,346
of 25,377,790 outputs
Outputs from Diabetes Care
#6,487
of 10,605 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#6,384
of 20,434 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diabetes Care
#14
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,377,790 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,605 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 26.5. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 20,434 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
