Psychometric Evaluation of Disordered Eating Measures in Bariatric Surgery Candidates
Obesity Surgery, 2016Co-Authors: Katrina Parker, Sarah Mitchell, Paul O’brien, Leah BrennanAbstract:Introduction Assessment of Disordered Eating is common in bariatric surgery candidates, yet psychometric properties of Disordered Eating measures in this population are largely unknown. Methods Measures were completed by 405 adult bariatric surgery candidates at pre-surgical consultation. Fit of the original scale structures was tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and alternative factor solutions were generated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Reliability (internal consistency), construct validity (convergent and divergent) and criterion validity (with the EDE as criterion) were assessed. Materials The measures prioritised for evaluation are the following: Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q; n = 405), Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ; n = 405), Questionnaire of Eating and Weight Patterns Revised (QEWP-R; n = 204), Clinical Impairment Assessment (CIA; n = 204) and the Eating Disorder Examination clinical interview (EDE; n = 131). Results CFA revealed adequate fit for only the CIA in its current form (CFI = 0.925, RMSEA = 0.096). EFA produced revised scales with improved reliability for the EDE, EDE-Q and TFEQ. Reliability of revised subscales was improved (original scales α = 0.43–0.82; revised scales α = 0.67–0.93). Correlational analyses of the CIA and revised versions of remaining scales with measures of psychological wellbeing and impairment revealed adequate convergent validity. All measures differentiated an EDE-classified Disordered Eating group from a non-Disordered Eating group (criterion validity). Diagnostic concordance between the EDE, EDE-Q and QEWP-R was low, and identification of Disordered Eating behaviours was inconsistent across measures. Conclusions Findings highlight the limitations of existing Disordered Eating questionnaires in bariatric surgery candidates. Results suggest revised assessments are required to overcome these limitations and ensure that measures informing clinical recommendations regarding patient care are reliable and valid.

family influence on Disordered Eating the role of body image dissatisfaction
Body Image, 2010Co-Authors: Annette S KluckAbstract:Abstract Research has linked an appearance-focused family culture (including parental commentary about weight/size) with increased Disordered Eating and body image dissatisfaction in daughters. Since body image dissatisfaction is also a risk factor for Disordered Eating, body image dissatisfaction may contribute to the link between family focus on appearance and Disordered Eating. This correlational study included a sample of 268 college women who completed the Family Influence Scale, Bulimia Test – Revised, Body Shape Questionnaire, and a series of items about their parents’ comments about their weight/size. Both family appearance focus and daughters’ body image dissatisfaction predicted increased Disordered Eating in daughters. Additionally, body image dissatisfaction partially mediated the influence of family appearance focus on daughters’ Disordered Eating. No specific type of parental comments regarding weight/size emerged as a superior predictor of Eating disturbance, but encouragement to control weight/size was a stronger predictor of body dissatisfaction than other types of parental comments.

Disordered Eating in ethnic minority adolescents with overweight
International Journal of Eating Disorders, 2017Co-Authors: Rachel F Rodgers, Allison W Watts, Bryn S Austin, Jess Haines, Dianne NeumarksztainerAbstract:High rates of Disordered Eating exist among adolescents with overweight and among ethnic/racial minority adolescents. Given the lack of research examining how Eating disorder risk is moderated by both overweight and ethnicity/race, this study aimed to explore interactions between ethnicity/race and overweight status on Disordered Eating behaviors in a population-based adolescent sample. Cross-sectional data from adolescents (n = 2,271; 52% females) of White (23%), Black (34%), Hispanic (20%), and Asian (23%; 82% Hmong) ethnicity/race participating in the EAT 2010 study were used to examine associations between overweight status and Disordered Eating behaviors across ethnic/racial groups. Disordered Eating behaviors occurred more frequently among adolescents with overweight compared with those without overweight across all ethnic/racial groups. Although some differences in the prevalence of Disordered Eating were found by ethnicity/race, particularly in girls, no consistent patterns of interaction emerged. Overweight White and Hispanic girls reported the highest risk for dieting, while the highest risk for unhealthy weight control behaviors was among overweight Black girls, and for overEating among overweight White and Asian girls. Within a society in which thinness is highly valued and being overweight is stigmatized, across diverse cultural groups, adolescents with overweight are at risk for Disordered Eating.

are family meal patterns associated with Disordered Eating behaviors among adolescents
Journal of Adolescent Health, 2004Co-Authors: Dianne Neumarksztainer, Melanie M Wall, Mary Story, Jayne A FulkersonAbstract:Abstract Purpose To examine associations between family meal patterns (frequency, priority, atmosphere, and structure of family meals) and Disordered Eating (unhealthy weight control behaviors, binge Eating, and chronic dieting) in adolescent girls and boys. Methods Survey and anthropometric data were collected from 4746 ethnically diverse adolescents from public middle and senior high schools who participated in the Project EAT study (Eating Among Teens). Variables of interest included family meal patterns and Disordered Eating behaviors. Logistic regressions were performed to examine associations between family meal patterns and Disordered Eating behaviors adjusting for body mass index, sociodemographic characteristics, family connectedness, and weight pressures within the home. Results In general, adolescents who reported more frequent family meals, high priority for family meals, a positive atmosphere at family meals, and a more structured family meal environment were less likely to engage in Disordered Eating. For example, 18.1% of girls who reported 1–2 family meals/week engaged in extreme weight control behaviors compared with 8.8% of girls who reported 3–4 family meals/week. Making family meals a priority, in spite of scheduling difficulties, emerged as the most consistent protective factor for Disordered Eating. Associations between family meal patterns and Disordered Eating behaviors tended to be stronger among girls than among boys. Family meal patterns were more consistently associated with unhealthy weight control behaviors than with chronic dieting and binge Eating. Although associations between family meals and Disordered Eating were weakened after adjusting for more global familial factors, including family connectedness and weight-specific pressures within the home, a number of the associations remained statistically significant, suggesting an independent relationship between family meals and Disordered Eating. Conclusion Family meals have the potential to play an important role in the prevention of unhealthy weight control behaviors among youth. Findings suggest that attention needs to be directed toward increasing family meal frequency and crEating a positive environment for family meals.
