OBJECTIVEDisordered eating behaviors may impact the gynecologic health of adolescents through effects on menstrual cycle function and body size; however, few studies have evaluated these associations. This study aimed to prospectively investigate the associations between individual disordered eating behaviors during adolescence, and the risk of subsequent endometriosis diagnosis.DESIGNProspective, longitudinal cohort (1996-2021).SUBJECTSFemale participants (n = 11773) from the Growing Up Today Study.EXPOSUREFrequency of binge eating, laxative use, and self-induced vomiting over the past year were self-reported on repeated questionnaires during follow-up.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURESPhysician-diagnosed endometriosis was reported on repeated questionnaires during follow-up. Multivariable logistic regression models with generalized estimating equations were used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).RESULTSOver 25 years of follow-up, we identified 269 incident cases of endometriosis (2.3%), 190 of which were reported as laparoscopically confirmed. A total of 32% of girls reported ever binge eating, 14% reported self-induced vomiting to lose weight, and 9% reported ever using laxatives to lose weight. The odds of laparoscopically-confirmed endometriosis diagnosis was more than three-fold higher (aOR=3.07, 95% CI 1.74, 5.40) for girls who cumulatively reported self-induced vomiting more than monthly during follow-up, compared to girls who never reported self-induced vomiting. A similar effect estimate (aOR=2.41, 95% CI 1.40, 4.12 was noted for girls who reported weekly or more frequent self-induced vomiting at least once during follow-up compared to girls who reported never vomiting. Cumulative exposure to binge eating during follow-up was not associated with diagnosis of laparoscopically-confirmed endometriosis; however, girls who reported a highest ever engagement in binge eating of weekly or more had 52% lower (aOR=0.47, 95% CI 0.25, 0.90) odds of laparoscopically-confirmed endometriosis, compared to girls who reported less than weekly binge eating. Laxative use was not strongly associated with endometriosis diagnosis, although estimates were imprecise.CONCLUSIONSWe observed that females with a greater frequency of self-induced vomiting were more likely to be diagnosed with endometriosis during follow-up, while girls with a history of frequent binge eating had a lower likelihood of endometriosis diagnosis. We found no association between laxative use and endometriosis.
目的:饮食失调行为可能通过影响青少年月经周期、生理功能和体型来影响其妇科健康;然而,很少有研究评估这些关联。本研究旨在前瞻性地探讨青春期个体饮食失调行为与随后子宫内膜异位症诊断风险之间的关系。设计前瞻性,纵向队列(1996-2021)。研究对象:来自今日成长研究的女性参与者(n = 11773)。在过去的一年中,暴饮暴食、使用泻药和自我诱导呕吐的频率在随访期间通过重复问卷进行自我报告。主要结局指标:在随访期间通过重复问卷报告医生诊断的子宫内膜异位症。采用广义估计方程的多变量logistic回归模型计算校正优势比(aORs)和95%置信区间(ci)。结果在25年的随访中,我们发现269例子宫内膜异位症(2.3%),其中190例经腹腔镜确诊。总共有32%的女孩报告曾暴饮暴食,14%报告自我诱导呕吐以减轻体重,9%报告曾使用泻药来减轻体重。在随访期间累计报告自我诱发呕吐超过一个月的女孩,腹腔镜确诊子宫内膜异位症的几率比从未报告自我诱发呕吐的女孩高3倍以上(aOR=3.07, 95% CI 1.74, 5.40)。在随访期间,报告每周或更频繁地自我诱导呕吐至少一次的女孩与报告从未呕吐的女孩相比,也有类似的效果估计(aOR=2.41, 95% CI 1.40, 4.12)。随访期间暴饮暴食的累积暴露与腹腔镜确诊子宫内膜异位症的诊断无关;然而,与每周暴食少于一周的女孩相比,每周暴食或更多的女孩腹腔镜确诊子宫内膜异位症的几率低52% (aOR=0.47, 95% CI 0.25, 0.90)。通便药的使用与子宫内膜异位症的诊断没有很强的相关性,尽管估计是不精确的。结论我们观察到,在随访中,自我诱导呕吐频率较高的女性更容易被诊断为子宫内膜异位症,而有频繁暴食史的女孩诊断子宫内膜异位症的可能性较低。我们没有发现泻药的使用和子宫内膜异位症之间的联系。

Patients receiving treatment that has the potential to negatively affect their gonads, including chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy, should be informed of options for fertility preservation and future reproduction before initiating treatment. Reproduction in the context of fertility-affecting treatment raises a number of ethical issues related to the welfare of both patients and offspring.
