Table 2:
Total Sample | Results from T-Test with Adjusted Permutation Q-Values | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Disordered Eating (DE) Behavior | Mean (SD) | Range | Respondents Reporting at least 1 Episode of DE Behavior % (n) | Athlete Mean (SD) | Non-athlete Mean (SD) | t-value | q-value |
Binge Eating | 9.69 (18.72) | 0–270 | 74.85 (17,903) | 8.38 (16.44) | 9.91 (19.08) | 4.46 | <.001 |
Vomiting | 3.41 (15.01) | 0–300 | 26.05 (6,231) | 3.08 (13.04) | 3.47 (15.32) | 1.39 | .211 |
Diuretics/Laxatives | 1.76 (8.50) | 0–170 | 16.95 (4,053) | 1.37 (7.03) | 1.82 (8.72) | 2.92 | .006 |
Excessive Exercise | 6.27 (14.97) | 0–150 | 48.52 (11,596) | 10.97 (19.59) | 5.46 (13.86) | 20.27 | <.001 |
Fasting | 5.21 (12.58) | 0–150 | 50.70 (12,068) | 5.17 (12.54) | 5.23 (12.58) | 0.24 | .826 |
q-values (p-values adjusted for multiple tests using False Discovery Rate correction and, in this case, were adjusted using permutation methods) and associated means (SDs) that are bolded are significant results.
All means, SDs, and ranges represent sample after using Winsorizing technique where data points above >3 SDs are converted to the value at 3 SD above the mean, thereby limiting the effects of spurious outliers. Given skewed data distributions and a large portion of the sample reporting 0 episodes for each disordered eating behavior, we used the mean and SDs for the subset of respondents who reported at least 1 episode of the respective behavior and converted the data points above 3 SDs to equal the highest data point not considered an outlier.
