“…41 Patients with obesity presented strong negative feeling about their bodies. 42 The present survey showed that age did not demonstrate any impact an the scores on the questionnaire EDI, except that the younger group (30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39) showed significantly higher scores than the middle aged group (40-49) on subscale bulimia on the questionnaire EDI-2. Mclean, Paxton and Wertheim found that in the EDE-Q subscales: the Body Dissatisfaction and disordered eating symptoms were unrelated to age 13 .…”

“…But several authors have argued that the original scoring is in fact better [31][32][33] . Shoemaker et al discovered that compared to the transformed scales 0-3, the original 1-6 scoring showed a higher internal consistency 32 (cited by 34 ). For that reason we decided to use the original 1-6 scale.…”

-Background and Objectives: Few studies have been conducted to explore eating behavior and weight concern among middle-aged women.Methods: Participants were a sample of 236 Chinese women aged 30-52. Outcome measures were various symptoms related to eating disorders, the weight concern and psychological characteristics subscales of the Eating Disorder Inventory-2 questionnaire (EDI-2). Independent variables were age, education level and BMI. ANOVA-Test and Linear Regression were performed.Results: A group of women (N = 132, 78%) with normal weight (19 ≤ BMI ≤ 24) showed dissatisfaction with their weight and wanted to reduce it. Overweight and obese women scored significantly higher on the subscale Body Dissatisfaction on the EDI-2 than women with lower BMI. In comparison to the older group (50-59), the younger group (30-39) and middle-aged group (40-49) expressed the desire to lose weight with a lower BMI.Conclusions: In comparison to age, the BMI had a stronger impact on the psychological and behavioral traits related to the eating disorders among a group of middle-aged Chinese women.

PurposeThe purpose of the present study was to examine the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Eating Disorder Inventory-2 (EDI-2) in Korean patients with eating disorders and healthy controls, and to investigate cultural differences of EDI-2 between a Korean group and a North American standardization sample.Materials and MethodsThe Korean version of the EDI-2 was prepared after comprehensive clinical assessment of Korean patients with eating disorders (n=327) as well as female undergraduates (n=176). Results were compared between eating disorder subgroups (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and eating disorders not otherwise specified) and those of a North American standardization sample and healthy controls.ResultsThe results showed that the Korean EDI-2 had adequate internal consistency (0.77-0.93) and discriminated well between patients with eating disorders and healthy controls on all subscales. Significant differences in EDI-2 subscale scores between the eating disorder groups and the healthy control group were observed; however, there was no discernible difference among the eating disorder subgroups. When compared with a North American standardization sample, the Korean control group showed significantly higher scores for drive for thinness and asceticism. When patient groups were compared, the Korean group showed significantly lower scores for perfectionism.ConclusionAs expected, the results accurately reflected psychometric properties of the Korean version of EDI-2 for eating disorder patients in Korea. These findings also suggest that common characteristics for the eating disorder exist as a whole rather than with significant difference between each subgroup. In addition, significant differences between the Korean and the North American groups for both patients and controls also demonstrated specific cultural differences.

Objective: Depression and bulimia both are associated with low serotonin levels. We examined whether the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR) moderates the relation between depressive and bulimic symptoms over time.Method: Fifty adolescent girls with no current or past Axis I disorder were genotyped for the 5-HTTLPR gene. Twice, 6 months apart, participants completed self-report measures of depressive symptoms and bulimic symptoms. Results:The association between change in depressive symptoms and change in bulimic symptoms over time was significantly stronger in girls who are homozygous for the short 5-HTTLPR allele than for girls with at least one long allele.Discussion: This finding is consistent with previous studies documenting a relation between depressive and bulimic symptoms in adolescents. Few studies, however, considered the possible role of serotonin linking both disorders. Gaining a better understanding of developmental effects of low serotonin could help to identify high-risk individuals and provide effective prevention and intervention.

Factor Structure of the Eating Disorder Inventory-C

Abstract: When the EDI-C is used, the reliability of the original 11 factors may be low. A modified subscale structure with five factors is proposed.
