Adaptation and validation of the Brief Questionnaire for Measuring Disordered Eating Behaviors in Mexican children.

Introduction: disordered eating behaviors (DEBs) and eating disorders (Eds) mainly occur in adolescence, but they currently already occur at an early age between the ages of five and twelve. Although there are instruments for EDs, it is necessary to have a self-applicable instrument for evaluating DEBs in children. Objective: to determine the reliability and exploratory and confirmatory factorial validity of the Brief Questionnaire for Measuring Disordered Eating Behaviors (BQDEB) in children ages eight to twelve years.
