Abstract

The rising prevalence of mental disorders among youth, including depression, anxiety, stress, and binge eating disorder (BED), has become a major concern in the context of global mental health. BED, as a form of eating disorder, often occurs with psychological conditions such as anxiety and depression, complicating diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and association between depression, anxiety, stress, and BED among youth in Greater Jakarta. Using a cross-sectional online design, data were collected from 231 participants aged 18-25 years through the Binge Eating Scale (BES) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). Statistical analysis involved bivariate testing and logistic regression to identify risk factors and association among variables. This study indicated that BED prevalence was higher among female respondents and individuals with a BMI ≥25. Anxiety emerged as the primary factor increasing the risk of BED by up to four times, while stress was not a significant predictor. These findings emphasized the importance of early detection and psychological interventions, as well as preventive approaches such as routine screening and improved access to mental health services for youth. In conclusion, anxiety and obesity were key factors that need comprehensive management to reduce BED occurrence and enhance adolescent mental health.

Bahasa Abstract

Meningkatnya prevalensi gangguan mental di kalangan pemuda termasuk depresi, kecemasan, stres, dan gangguan makan berlebihan (BED) telah menjadi perhatian utama dalam konteks kesehatan mental global. BED sebagai bentuk gangguan makan, seringkali terjadi bersamaan dengan kondisi psikologis seperti kecemasan dan depresi, sehingga mempersulit diagnosis dan pengobatan. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki prevalensi dan hubungan antara depresi, kecemasan, stres, dan BED pada dewasa awal di Jabodetabek. Desain studi menggunakan desain cross-sectional. Data dikumpulkan dari 231 peserta berusia 18-25 tahun melalui Binge Eating Scale (BES) dan Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). Analisis statistik menggunakan pengujian bivariat dan regresi logistik untuk mengidentifikasi faktor risiko dan asosiasi antar variabel. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa prevalensi BED lebih tinggi dikalangan responden perempuan dan individu dengan BMI ≥25. Kecemasan muncul sebagai faktor utama yang dapat meningkatkan risiko BED hingga empat kali lipat, sementara stres bukan prediktor yang signifikan. Temuan ini menekankan pentingnya deteksi dini dan intervensi psikologis, serta pendekatan preventif seperti skrining rutin dan peningkatan akses ke layanan kesehatan mental bagi remaja. Sebagai kesimpulan, kecemasan dan obesitas adalah faktor kunci yang memerlukan penanganan komprehensif untuk mengurangi kejadian BED dan meningkatkan kesehatan mental pemuda.
