Note: ED = eating disorder; AED = active eating disorder; PRED = partially recovered eating disorder; FRED = fully recovered eating disorder; HC = healthy controls; EAT-26 = Eating Attitudes Test-26; MAC-R = Mizes Anorectic Cognitions Test-Revised; ASI-R = Appearance Schemas Inventory-Revised; TREI = Thinness and Restricting Expectancy Inventory. Pairwise comparisons listed were significant at least at p<.05.
