Comparison of DSM-5 eating disorder diagnoses across weight statuses.

	Total (N = 677)	Healthy weight (HW; n = 412	Overweight (OW; n = 147)	Obese (OB; n = 118)	Overall p- value	Pairwise comparisons
Bulimia nervosa	20.1%	23.8%	17.0%	11.0%	χ2(2, 677) = 10.42; p = .004; Cramer’s V = .124	HW > OB
Binge eating disorder	9.9%	7.3%	10.2%	18.6%	χ2(2, 677) = 13.30; p = .001; Cramer’s V = .140	OB > HW
Sub-clinical bulimia nervosa	25.1%	24.5%	27.9%	23.7%	χ2(2, 677) = .802; p = .670; Cramer’s V = .034	-
Sub-clinical binge eating disorder	9.7%	6.6%	9.5%	21.2%	χ2(2, 677) = 22.33; p < .001; Cramer’s V = .182	OB > HW, OW
Purging disorder	4.4%	5.3%	2.7%	3.4%	χ2(2, 677) = 2.10; p = .346; Cramer’s V = .056	-
Unspecified feeding or eating disorder	30.7%	32.5%	32.7%	22.0%	χ2(2, 677) = 5.07; p = .079; Cramer’s V = .087	-

Note: Pairwise comparisons were significant at least at p < .017

HW = healthy weight; OW = overweight; OB = obese
