Comparisons of eating attitudes and disordered eating behaviors in a subsample of transgender men 18-26 years old (n = 143) and transgender women 18-42 years old (n = 109) in The PRIDE Study to age-matched cisgender^ men from the Lavender et al. (2010) sample (N = 404) and cisgender^ women from Mond et al. (2006) sample (N = 5231).

EDE-Q. Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire. Any occurrence was defined as ≥1 episode in the past 28 days. EDE-Q scores were compared using independent samples t-tests. Proportions of disordered eating behaviors were compared with Z-tests or Fisher's exact tests.

Cisgender is presumed here as comprehensive gender assessment was not performed in Lavender et al. or Mond et al.
