Burden of hyperphagia and obesity in Bardet–Biedl syndrome: a multicountry survey

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2023
Background Signs and symptoms of Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) occur during early childhood, progress over time, and place substantial, multifaceted burden on patients and their caregivers. Hyperphagia may be a contributing factor to early-onset obesity in

Hyperphagia in intestinal disease [PDF]

open access: yesGut, 1974
Six patients with hyperphagia (ingestion of 5-11 000 Kcals/day) associated with severe malabsorption and steatorrhoea are described. The cause of the malabsorption was coeliac disease in three patients, Crohn's disease with ileal resection in two, and carcinoma of the pancreas in one patient.
