Weight and shape

^aOne way ANOVA F(3, 240). AN: anorexia nervosa, BN: bulimia nervosa, EDNOS: eating disorder not otherwise specified. BED: binge eating disorder.

In Bonferroni post hoc test, only significant relationships are reported.

p values: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001. NS: Not significant.

Effect size ‐ Eta squared η ²: small effect size = 0.02, medium = 0.13, and large = 0.26.
