Investigating the factor structure and measurement invariance of the <scp>Eating Disorder Examination‐Questionnaire</scp> (<scp>EDE‐Q</scp>) in a community sample of gender minority adults from the <scp>United States</scp>

Abstract

Although transgender individuals have greater risk of developing an eating disorder, the factor structure of the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire, one of the most widely used eating disorder assessment measures, has not been explored in transgender adults. We found that a seven-item model including three factors of dietary restraint, shape and weight overvaluation, and body dissatisfaction had the best fit among transgender and nonbinary adults.
