Note. ^a Ocker et al.’s [9] 16-item four-factor model, Bulimia = Bulimia and Food Preoccupation, Body Shape = Self-perception of Body Shape, Food Contents = Awareness of Food Contents, ICC = intraclass correlation coefficient, CI = confidence interval. n = 1271 (278 vegetarian, 580 vegan, 413 omnivore), test–retest n = 223 (45 vegetarian, 119 vegan, 59 omnivore).
