OBJECTIVE: Loss of control (LOC) eating (feeling unable to control food type/amount eaten) during pregnancy is common and linked to risk for poor cardiovascular health (CVH), but it is unclear whether prenatal LOC eating directly relates to CVH during pregnancy. The current study tested associations between prenatal LOC eating and CVH during pregnancy in a sample with prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25. METHOD: (1) on each CVH metric, respectively. All models employed propensity score adjustment, since those with/without LOC eating may differ in ways affecting CVH, and covaried for: age, gestational age, prepregnancy BMI, ethnicity, race, education, and income. RESULTS: = .03) CVH metrics. CONCLUSIONS: Prenatal LOC eating was associated with poorer CVH during pregnancy in this sample with prepregnancy BMI ≥ 25, even after controlling for propensity of experiencing LOC eating and known risk factors for poor CVH. Thus, prenatal LOC may represent a modifiable factor related to prenatal health risk. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
