FIGURE 1.

Interaction between maternal acceptance and gastric symptoms in the prediction of eating disorder symptoms 1 year later. Post-hoc analyses were performed using linear mixed-effects models separately for boys and girls. Results revealed that for girls, maternal acceptance moderated the effect of baseline gastric symptoms in the prediction of Year 1 eating disorder (ED) symptoms, such that higher gastric symptoms and lower self-reported maternal acceptance at baseline were associated with increased ED symptoms 1 year later. No such interaction effect existed for boys
