“…In an effort to enhance generalizability, we included individuals who did not identify with the female gender (assigned at birth) although this could have introduced bias in the sample. However, whilst the EDE-Q may perform differently in samples of men or ethnic minorities, this appears to be less biased when using the EDE-Q7 (McEntee et al, 2021; see also Marek et al, 2023). Only those identified as underweight (BMI ≤19.0) were included, and therefore cases of AN and atypical AN at higher weights were not included; further studies might wish to consider a broader definition in psychometric work.…”

“…Compared with the Original model, the EDE-Q7 has demonstrated more variable patterns of correlations with related constructs, such as depression, which suggests “better convergent and discriminant validity” of the briefer version (Grilo et al, 2015, p. 287). Moreover, while few studies have explicitly evaluated the effects of translation, the EDE-Q7 has been shown to demonstrate language invariance in a sample of Hispanic/Latino/a/x persons seeking bariatric surgery in the United States (Marek et al, 2023), suggesting further reliability of its structure.…”

The Eating Disorder Examination–Questionnaire (EDE-Q) is a widely used self-report measure of eating pathology. Despite widespread use, investigations of its factor structure have proved inconclusive and rarely supported the “original” interpretation. The current study evaluates several proposed factor solutions of the EDE-Q using latent variable analysis in a sample of adult women with anorexia nervosa (AN). A total of 804 patients from a specialist treatment center in the United States participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on 22 EDE-Q items assessing attitudinal features of eating pathology. Findings suggested that three full-item versions (none of which was the “original” interpretation) fit the data adequately, with a brief, seven-item version showing excellent fit. The study is one of the first to examine this within a sample of women with AN and provides an empirical foundation for how best to use the EDE-Q among clinical and research participants with AN. Findings suggest that the “original” factor structure lacks structural validity in women with AN. Its use should generally be discouraged, and future work on screening and treatment outcomes might consider the EDE-Q7.

“…Additionally, the severity of problematic eating behaviours, as assessed by the Eating Disorder Examination-Self-Report Questionnaire (EDE‐Q), demonstrates a consistent decline after surgery, maintaining levels lower than baseline throughout the follow-up period 22 . Given its validity within the Hispanic population, the EDE‐Q can be effectively integrated into preoperative psychological assessment batteries to screen for eating disorder psychopathology 23 . In light of these findings, both the binge eating scale (BES) 24 and the Eating Disorder Examination-Self-Report Questionnaire (EDE‐Q) 25 have proven to be robust instruments for the evaluation of these complex disorders.…”

Presurgical psychopathological assessment usually focuses on detecting severe mental disorders. However, mild intensity psychopathology and eating behaviour pattern may also influence postsurgical outcomes. The aim was to identify psychopathology and eating behaviour pattern in candidates prepared for bariatric surgery compared to a normative population before and after surgery. A cohort of 32 patients seeking bariatric surgery in a university hospital between March 2016 and March 2017 were evaluated with Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI), 36‐item EDE‐Q and BES before and after surgery. Thirty-two patients before and 26 one year after surgery were included. The PAI presurgical psychometric profile suggested a mild mixed adjustment disorder focused on somatic complaints. After surgery, patients improved in somatic complaints (p < 0.001), and depression (p = 0.04). Related eating disorders were more common than those of the normative group and improved significantly after surgery in scores for compulsive intake (BES p < 0.001) and overall key behaviours of eating disorders and related cognitive symptoms (EDE-Q/G p < 0.001). In our cohort ready for bariatric surgery a mild psychopathological profile is still present and becomes closer to that of the normative group after surgery. Further studies are needed to evaluate the effects of mild psychopathology on outcomes after bariatric surgery.

Background Although the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) is one of the most widely used self-report assessments of eating disorder symptoms, evidence indicates potential limitations with its original factor structure and associated psychometric properties in a variety of populations, including sexual minority populations. The aims of the current investigation were to explore several previously published EDE-Q factor structures and to examine internal consistency and measurement invariance of the best-fitting EDE-Q model in a large community sample of cisgender gay men and cisgender lesbian women. Methods Data were drawn from 1624 adults (1060 cisgender gay men, 564 cisgender lesbian women) who participated in The PRIDE Study, a large-scale longitudinal cohort study of sexual and gender minorities from the United States. A series of confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) were conducted to explore the fit of eight proposed EDE-Q models; internal consistency (Cronbach’s alphas, Omega coefficients) and measurement invariance (multi-group CFA) were subsequently evaluated. Results A brief seven-item, three-factor (dietary restraint, shape/weight overvaluation, body dissatisfaction) model of the EDE-Q from Grilo et al. (Obes Surg. 23:657–662, 2013), consistently evidenced the best fit across cisgender gay men and lesbian women. The internal consistencies of the three subscales were adequate in both groups, and measurement invariance across the groups was supported. Conclusions Taken together, these findings support the use of the seven-item, three-factor version of the EDE-Q for assessing eating disorder symptomatology in cisgender gay men and lesbian women. Future studies can confirm the current findings in focused examinations of the seven-item, three-factor EDE-Q in diverse sexual minority samples across race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and age ranges.
