In an earlier study addressing the differences between women with ED in a couple relationship and single women with ED (Wiederman and Pryor 1997), the investigators examined 314 women aged between 20 and 45 years presenting to an outpatient university-based ED clinic. They subdivided their sample into two groups: those who had married (173, including 132 who were currently married) and 141 individuals who had never married. As did Bussolotti et al. (2002), they controlled for the effects of age. The most important outcome of this study was that there were very few differences between the two groups with respect to clinical features and subscales on the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI). The only difference was that the “ever-married” group had an earlier onset of menarche (in both BN and AN groups) and intercourse (in BN only) compared with the “never-married” group. However, it is important to emphasize that these differences were small and of questionable clinical significance. For example, the age of first intercourse in BN subjects who had been married was earlier than in those who had not been married by less than one year.

Therefore, the aim of the current study was twofold. First, given the inconsistent findings regarding the effects of illness duration on treatment outcome in patients with AN—which may partially be attributed to underpowered studies—there is a need to test the effect of illness duration on treatment outcome in large-scale samples. Thus, we examined data of more than 900 female inpatients with AN. Specifically, we tested whether illness duration predicted short-term treatment outcome on three levels: an objective indicator of treatment outcome (weight change from admission to discharge), external assessment of treatment outcome (therapist-rated change in global functioning), and self-report (subscales of the Eating Disorder Inventory–2 [EDI–2]). Second, as illness duration appears to be highly—in fact, almost perfectly—correlated with patients’ age, we examined the correlation between these two variables in the current sample and tested whether using illness duration or age at admission as predictors of treatment outcome would yield distinguishable results.

To assess eating disorders symptomatology and psychopathology, we used the 91-item Eating Disorders Inventory-2 (EDI-II; Garner, 1991), which is divided into 11 subscales: ineffectiveness, social insecurity, drive to thinness, interoceptive awareness, maturity fear, body dissatisfaction, perfectionism, interpersonal distrust, impulsivity, bulimia, and asceticism. The drive to thinness, bulimia and body dissatisfaction scales are the three scales that most directly relate to eating disorders, the other scales refer to clinical traits that are often associated to eating disorders. This revised version is based on the original Eating Disorder Inventory by Garner et al. (1983) and has been shown to have good reliability (Thiel & Paul, 2006). Participants rated each item of each scale using 6-point Likert scales ranging from “always” to “never” (and the other way around for reversed items). To compute a score, points were then assigned to each response (i.e., three points allocated for “always”, two for “usually”, one for “often”, and zero for “sometimes”, “rarely” and “never” responses).

The Eating Disorder Inventory-3 is an 81-item self-report survey designed for the assessment of psychological and behavioral traits common in anorexia nervosa and bulimia37 validated to distinguish between clinical and general populations.22 Each item contains the response options “Always,” “Usually,” “Often,” “Sometimes,” “Rarely” and “Never” which are—unless reverse coded—scored with values of 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, and 0. For the present analysis, participants were scored on the scales for DT and BD.37 The DT subscale contains 7 items such as “I eat sweets and carbohydrates without feeling nervous” and can result in a maximum score of 28, while the BD subscale contains 10 items such as “I think that my stomach is too big” and can result in a maximum score of 40.
