Distribution of eating disorder diagnosis in different groups of self-control levels

Diagnosis	Highly overcontrolled  < (− 1 SD)	Overcontrolled (− 1 SD) − Mean	Undercontrolled Mean – (+ 1 SD)	Highly undercontrolled  >  + 1 SD
AN	13 (40.6%)	34 (33.7%)	15 (22%)	4 (15.4%)
AAN	5 (15.6%)	16 (15.8%)	5 (7.3%)	1 (3.8%)
BN	8 (25%)	23 (22.8%)	27 (39.7%)	17 (65.4%)
Other ED	6 (18.8%)	28 (27.78%)	21 (30.9%)	4 (15.4%)

Self-control levels are measured with Ego undercontrol scale 13 (EUC-13), in a group of patients with an eating disorder, pre-treatment. The groups are based on the standard deviation from the sample EUC-13 mean score (n = 227) and consist of highly overcontrolled (n = 32), overcontrolled (n = 101), undercontrolled (n = 68), and highly undercontrolled (n = 26)
