Spanish version of the brief Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q7): psychometric properties, dimensional structure, and sex invariance in a Spanish adult sample.
Background: The Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) is a widely used measure for eating disorders. Research on the shorter 7-item 3-factor version of the scale (EDE-Q7) supports the validity of that brief measure. Moreover, EDE-Q7 may be especially useful in large epidemiological investigations and clinical contexts because of its shorter length. The current study examined the psychometric properties and factor structure of the Spanish language version of the EDE-Q7 in a sample of Spanish adults.
Methods: A non-clinical sample of 1163 adults living in Spain (806, 69.3% women) completed the EDE-Q7, the EDE-Q, and other measures of abnormal eating attitudes, depression, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and life satisfaction.
Results: Confirmatory factor analysis showed an adequate fit for the EDE-Q7 with a three-factor structure identified as dietary restraint, body dissatisfaction, and shape/weight over evaluation. The EDE-Q7 exhibited good internal consistency, and the results corroborated measurement invariance across sex. The instrument revealed positive correlations with the EDE-Q and abnormal eating attitudes. The EDE-Q7 also showed significant associations in the expected direction with body mass index, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, depression, and life satisfaction.
Conclusions: Our findings support the validity and factor structure of the Spanish version of EDE-Q7 in a sample of Spanish men and women, implying that the questionnaire can be used as an autonomous measure. Measurement invariance suggests that the instrument may be appropriate for Spanish college-aged men and women and community adults.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Eating Disorders is the first open access, peer-reviewed journal publishing leading research in the science and clinical practice of eating disorders. It disseminates research that provides answers to the important issues and key challenges in the field of eating disorders and to facilitate translation of evidence into practice.
The journal publishes research on all aspects of eating disorders namely their epidemiology, nature, determinants, neurobiology, prevention, treatment and outcomes. The scope includes, but is not limited to anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and other eating disorders. Related areas such as important co-morbidities, obesity, body image, appetite, food and eating are also included. Articles about research methodology and assessment are welcomed where they advance the field of eating disorders.
