“…The transition from childhood through adolescence to womanhood, with psychological and bodily changes and with future possibilities to adult sexual relationships, is a major developmental task. Heebink et al (22) found that young anorectic girls less than 14 years of age had less depressive and anxiety feelings but at the same time more maturity fears than the older anorectic girls. These maturity fears may in uence them to diet, lose weight, and avoid the physiological changes that belong to adolescent development.…”

The aim of the study was to examine factors associated with dieting and weight concerns among Finnish adolescents. A school-survey included a 9-item screening scale for assessing attitudes and behaviors involving dieting and body image and a self-report measure of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire assessing emotional and behavioral problems. Altogether 1458 questionnaires were analyzed, which accounted for about 89% of the target population including all the 7th and the 9th graders in two cities in Finland. According to the results, dieting and weight concerns were extremely common among Finnish adolescents. For all aspects of weight control and dieting concerns, the rates of occurrence were greater among girls. A high level of dieting concerns was associated with female sex, body mass, emotional, conduct, and hyperactivity symptoms, and alcohol use.

“…The finding that the impact of maturity fears was reversed between 1‐ and 3‐year follow‐up may reflect changes over development. Specifically, younger patients tended to have a higher chance of recovery (Sohlberg et al, ) but may experience more maturity fears (Heebink, Sunday, & Halmi, ). Thus, the wide age range of the patient sample (18–45) may explain results and highlights the need for prospective studies to be contextualized within specific developmental periods.…”

The present study sought to identify psychological factors that predict onset and maintenance of eating disorders. Secondary analyses were conducted using data from an epidemiological study of health and eating behaviors in men and women (N=1320; 72% female) to examine the prospective and independent influence of the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) Perfectionism, Interpersonal Distrust, and Maturity Fears subscales in predicting the onset and maintenance of eating disorders at 10-year follow-up. Multivariate models indicated higher Perfectionism (p=.025), lower Interpersonal Distrust (p<.001), and higher Maturity Fears (p=.037) predicted increased risk for eating disorder onset at 10-year follow-up, but only Perfectionism (p=.004) predicted eating disorder maintenance. Differential prediction of eating disorder onset versus maintenance highlights potentially different psychological foci for prevention versus treatment efforts.

“…No hubo diferencias en las otras seis subescalas del EDI-2. 17 El impacto de estas diferencias por edad en la sensibilidad y especificidad diagnóstica del EDI-2 deben ser evaluadas en estudios subsecuentes, pero no parecen afectar el diagnóstico global de las pacientes.…”

Objective. To assess the diagnostic utility and internal validity of the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI-2) in Mexican women. Material and Methods. An observational, crosssectional study was conducted between October 2000 and January 2001. The sample population consisted of two groups of women: patients diagnosed with anorexia nervosa or bulimia, but no other psychiatric pathology, seen by psychiatrists at the Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán (National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition Salvador Zubirán), and a randomly selected sample of women from a school in Mexico City. A structured interview was conducted using SCID/DSM-IV as the gold standard. Finally the EDI-2 was administered. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t test for independent samples, Cronbach's alpha test, and calculation of sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values. Results. No significant differences were found for weight, height, and body mass index. Women with no eating disorders were younger than those with eating disorders (16.7±2.8 vs. 19.9±4.3, p=0.004). The EDI-2 total score was clearly different between the groups (53.8±32.4 vs. 146.3±45.6 respectively, p<0.001). All Cronbach's alpha coefficients for all subscales were over 0.85. For the total score, a sensitive cutoff point of 80 (sensitivity 90.9, 95% confidence interval [CI] 69.4 to 98.4; specificity 80, 95%CI 58.7 to 92.4) and a specific cutoff point of 105 (sensitivity 81.8, 95%CI 59 to 94; specificity 89.3, 95%CI 70.6
