The factor structure of the Anorexia Nervosa Inventory for Self-Rating in a population-based sample and derivation of a shortened form.

The Anorexia Nervosa Inventory for Self-Rating (ANIS) was the first instrument covering aspects of the general psychopathology of eating disorders alongside eating attitudes, but its factorial integrity in non-clinical samples has not yet been investigated. Thus, this report is aimed at assessing the factorial structure of the ANIS with different methods of extraction and rotation. Data from a population-based random sample of German-speaking Italian schoolgirls aged 11-20 years (n = 1402) were used.
