TL;DR: In this article, a narrative review summarizes evidence of biological factors underlying the sex-differentiated prevalence of eating pathology as well as within-sex variability in risk, and highlights the importance of studying both sexes and considering sex-specific biological mechanisms that may underlie differential risk for eating pathology.

TL;DR: Pubertal status may influence the association between disruptions in positive affect and dysregulated eating in youth, and positive affect instability may be important to consider in order to understand the emotional correlates of binge Eating in youth with overweight/obesity.
