Investigating the factor structure of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) in a clinical sample of patients with eating disorders in Mexico.

Eating Disorders (EDs) in Mexicans have been associated with an elevated psychiatric comorbidity, highlighting the necessity for a reliable assessment tool. However, previous validations of the Eating Disorders Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) in Mexico yielded diverse results regarding its underlying factor structure, leading to uncertainty and complexity in understanding its latent models. This study will evaluate multiple previously proposed EDE-Q models in a sample of 173 patients with EDs undergoing various standard-of-care programs in Monterrey, Mexico.
