Values are mean (SD). The means and SDs are based on an average of 40 imputed data sets for anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, respectively.

b

Q1 = How would you rate your quality of life? Q2 = How satisfied are you with your health?

*

P < .05.

**

P < .01 for t tests comparing mean subscale/domain scores by recovery status.
