Background
Modest weight losses may be associated with improvements in cardiovascular disease risk factors (CVDRF) in patients with obesity. The effects of weight losses on CVDRF in persons with binge‐eating disorder (BED) are unknown. This study prospectively examined changes in CVDRF among patients receiving behaviorally‐based weight‐loss treatment (BBWLT) who attained modest weight losses (≥5...
