Note: The Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) (9) is available on the Oxford University Centre Eating Disorders website. The first three EDE-Q items in this table were assessed for the “past for weeks only (28 days)” using a frequency scale ranging 0 to 6 (0 = 0 days, 1 = 1–5 days, 2 = 6–12 days, 3 = 13–15 days, 4 = 16–22 days, 5 = 23–27 days, and 6 = every day). The last four EDE-Q items in this table were assessed with a severity scale ranging 0 (denoting “not at all” to 6 (denoting “extremely”). The seven items in this table are as follows: “Have you been consciously trying to restrict the amount of food you eat to influence shape or weight?”, “Have you attempted to avoid eating any foods which you like in order to influence your shape or weight?”, “Have you attempted to follow definite rules regarding your eating in order to influence your shape or weight; for example, a calorie limit, a set amount of food, or rules about what or when you should eat?”, “Has your weight influenced how you think about (judge) yourself as a person?”, “Has your shape influenced how you think about (judge) yourself as a person?”, “How dissatisfied have you felt about your weight?”, and “How dissatisfied have you felt about your shape?”
