Couples with eating disorders
Stephen Wonderlich, James E Mitchell, Martina de Zwaan, Howard Steiger, Eric F van Furth in Annual Review of Eating Disorders Part 1 – 2007, 2018
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.
Eating Disorders in College Students
Jonna Fries, Veronica Sullivan in Eating Disorders in Special Populations, 2017
No one screening or assessment tool is utilized in isolation for college students. As with other age groups, assessments most commonly used include Eating Disorder Inventory-3 (EDI-3), Sociocultural Attitudes Toward Appearance Questionnaire (SATAQ; Heinberg et al. 1995), Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q; Fairburn and Cooper 1993), and the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26; Garner et al. 1982).

Eating Disorder Inventory-3 (EDI-3) (Garner, 2004; adaptación argentina: Rutsztein et al., 2013). El EDI-3 es un inventario multidimensional autoadministrado. En este estudio se utilizaron sólo las tres primeras subescalas (Búsqueda de Delgadez, Actitudes Bulímicas e Insatisfacción Corporal) para evaluar actitudes y comportamientos con respecto a la alimentación, el peso y la imagen corporal. Estas tres subescalas incluyen 25 ítems con 6 opciones de respuesta (escala tipo Likert). En la adaptación argentina del EDI-3, realizada con adolescentes de población general (Rutsztein et al., 2013), la consistencia interna fue adecuada para Búsqueda de Delgadez (α = .89), Actitudes Bulímicas (α = .80) e Insatisfacción Corporal (α = .80). En el presente estudio, los α de Cronbach’s variaron en cada subescala a lo largo de los tres tiempos: Búsqueda de Delgadez (α = .87, α = .89, α = .90), Actitudes Bulímicas (α = .69, α = .63, α = .83) e Insatisfacción Corporal (α = .85, α = .89, α = .88), al inicio, post-intervención y seguimiento respectivamente.

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.
Objectification, relationship satisfaction, and self-consciousness during physical intimacy in bisexual women

We used the 9-item BD subscale of the Eating Disorder Inventory (Garner, Olmsted, & Polivy, 1983) to assess participants’ satisfaction with the size and shape of different body parts (stomach, thighs, hips, and buttocks), and the overall shape of their body. The EDI was developed using three samples of women with eating disorders; high reliability (r = .90) of the BD subscale was found with the anorexic and comparison group samples. The items are responded to on a 6-point response scale ranging from (1) Always to (6) Never. Some items are reverse-scored. A sample item is “I think that my stomach is too big.” The original scoring format gave the most disordered eating response a 3, the next most disordered response a two, and the next a 1, with the other three healthy responses coded as 0. However, an alternative method of using the item scores from the 1–6 rating scale has been widely used and it was found to have better psychometric properties in a nonclinical sample of Dutch adolescent girls (Schoemaker, van Strien, & van der Staak, 1994). This method was used in this study. Item ratings were summed, with higher scores reflecting greater BD. Thiel and Paul (2006) reported a Cronbach's alpha of .88 in a sample of inpatient women, some with eating disorder diagnoses and some with other diagnoses. With regard to validity, Kashubeck-West, Mintz, and Saunders (2001) reported that the Eating Disorder Inventory and its subscales have shown validity in discriminating between individuals with eating disorders and individuals without eating disorders or other diagnoses. The internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) of the BD subscale was .91 in the current study.
