Abstract

Objective: While prior research has found links between anxiety sensitivity (AS) and eating disorder (ED) symptoms, there has been limited research exploring how specific aspects of AS are related to specific dimensions of eating pathology. To inform candidate targets of specific aspects of AS in future interventions, the current study identified associations between AS and ED constructs in a sample of individuals with elevated eating pathology.

Method: N = 382 undergraduate students (89.3% White, 2.6% Hispanic/Latine) with elevated eating pathology completed surveys as part of a larger study. Participants completed the Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 (ASI-3 subscales: Physical, Cognitive, and Social Concerns) and Eating Pathology Symptoms Inventory (EPSI).

Results: Separate Bonferroni-corrected regression models were run for each EPSI subscale with covariates (age, BMI, and sex) included in step 1 and ASI-3 subscales in step 2. ASI Social was associated with EPSI Body Dissatisfaction (p < .001), and ASI Cognitive was significantly associated with Binge Eating, Purging, and Muscle Building (ps < .006), above and beyond other ASI subscales.

Discussion: Results support that different aspects of AS are associated with different ED symptoms. Future research should explore these constructs longitudinally to inform potential targets for intervention.

焦虑敏感性指数-3亚量表与饮食病理的关系。

目的：虽然先前的研究发现了焦虑敏感性（AS）和饮食失调（ED）症状之间的联系，但关于AS的特定方面与饮食病理的特定维度之间的关系的研究有限。为了在未来的干预措施中为AS的特定方面的候选目标提供信息，目前的研究在饮食病理升高的个体样本中确定了AS和ED结构之间的关联。方法：N = 382名饮食病理升高的本科生（89.3%白人，2.6%西班牙裔/拉丁裔）完成调查，作为一项更大研究的一部分。参与者完成焦虑敏感性指数-3 （ASI-3亚量表：身体、认知和社会关注）和饮食病理症状量表（EPSI）。结果：对每个EPSI子量表分别运行bonferroni校正回归模型，其中协变量（年龄、BMI和性别）包括在步骤1和步骤2的ASI-3子量表中。ASI社会与EPSI身体不满意相关（p p < 0.006），高于并超过其他ASI子量表。讨论：结果支持不同方面的AS与不同的ED症状相关。未来的研究应纵向探索这些结构，以告知潜在的干预目标。

期刊介绍： Eating Disorders is contemporary and wide ranging, and takes a fundamentally practical, humanistic, compassionate view of clients and their presenting problems. You’ll find a multidisciplinary perspective on clinical issues and prevention research that considers the essential cultural, social, familial, and personal elements that not only foster eating-related problems, but also furnish clues that facilitate the most effective possible therapies and treatment approaches.
