Ovarian hormones significantly influence dysregulated eating in females. However, most women do not develop appreciable disordered eating, which suggests that ovarian hormones may not affect all women equally. We examined whether individual differences in trait negative affect (NA) moderate ovarian hormone–dysregulated eating associations in 446 women who provided saliva samples for hormone measurements and ratings of NA and emotional eating daily for 45 consecutive days. Women were at greatest risk for emotional eating when they had high trait NA and experienced a hormonal milieu characterized by low estradiol or high progesterone. Although effects were evident in all women, the combination of high trait NA and high progesterone was particularly risky for women with a history of clinically significant binge-eating episodes. These findings provide initial evidence that affective and hormonal risk interact to promote emotional eating and that effects may be amplified in women with clinically significant binge eating.

性状负面影响与卵巢激素相互作用以预测情绪化饮食的风险

卵巢激素显着影响女性饮食失调。然而，大多数女性不会出现明显的饮食失调，这表明卵巢激素可能不会对所有女性产生同等影响。我们检查了 446 名女性的性状负面影响 (NA) 中度卵巢激素失调饮食关联是否存在个体差异，这些女性连续 45 天每天提供唾液样本用于激素测量和 NA 和情绪性饮食的评级。当女性具有高 NA 特征并且经历以低雌二醇或高孕酮为特征的荷尔蒙环境时，她们情绪化进食的风险最大。尽管对所有女性都有明显的影响，但高性状 NA 和高孕酮的组合对于有临床显着暴食史的女性来说尤其危险。
