Descriptive statistics of the retrieved factor mixture model with 3 latent classes

Covariate	λ (SE)	Very low body image satisfaction class N = 63 (24.71%) M (SE)	Average body image satisfaction class N = 111 (43.53%) M (SE)	Moderately high body image satisfaction class N = 62 (24.31%) M (SE)	Very high body image satisfaction class N = 19 (7.45%) M (SE)

Each item of the scale was assessed on a 6-point scale (1 = does not apply at all, 6 = applies exactly).

^∗Negatively worded items were recoded so that higher scores represented higher satisfaction with body image.

^†Factor loading of the first item was fixed at 1 to set the metric of the continuous latent factor. Significant factor loadings (λ; and standard error values in parenthesis) are indicated by ∗P < .05, ∗∗P < .01, ∗∗∗P < .001.

^‡Continuous latent factor mean was fixed at 0 to set the metric of the latent factor.
