Standardized canonical discriminant function coefficients for body image scales

Body image	Function 1	Function 2
Appearance evaluation	−0.04	0.30
Appearance orientation	−0.33	−0.17
Fitness evaluation	0.02	0.30
Fitness orientation	0.16	0.60
Health evaluation	−0.59	−0.19
Health orientation	0.72	−0.33
Illness orientation	0.42	0.23
Overweight preoccupation	−0.08	0.32
Body areas satisfaction	0.06	0.37
Self‐classified weight scale	0.18	0.21
Age	0.93	−0.05

Positive values of standardized canonical discriminant function mean that the higher the values of body image dimension, the higher the values of extracted discriminant function, negative values meant that the higher the values of body image dimension, the lower the values of extracted discriminant function.
