Patterns for those who developed an eating disorder (N = 51)

	PTBT/TI → BD	BD → Diet/Neg	Diet/Neg → ED
Exceeded cut point at three steps
All three steps in the pathway (n = 24)	Yes	Yes	Yes
Middle/Late pathway (n = 4)	No	Yes	Yes
Early/Late pathway (n = 2)	Yes	No	Yes
Early/Middle pathway (n = 1)	Yes	Yes	No
Middle pathway only (n = 1)	No	Yes	No
Exceeded cut point at two steps
Middle/Late pathway (n = 5)		Yes	Yes
Late pathway only (n = 2)		No	Yes
Exceeded cut point at one step
Late pathway only (n = 9)			Yes
No pathway (n = 2)			No
No cut points crossed (n = 1)
