To conduct a systematic review of studies that evaluated quality of life (QOL) among individuals with eating disorders, to analyze the characteristics of specific QOL instruments for eating disorders. Bibliographic searches were conducted in 6 databases and manual searches in 2 journals, covering the period from January 1975 to June 2008. The search strategies provided a total of 29,537 references. Out of the 41 studies that met the inclusion criteria for this review, 5 reported on the validation process for 4 specific instruments for eating disorders. Among the 4 specific QOL instruments for eating disorders, 3 presented adequate development procedures and psychometric properties. However, further research is needed to prove the validity and applicability of these instruments. Additional validation studies are needed, especially in relation to patients who deny that they have a disorder.
对评估饮食失调患者生活质量（QOL）的研究进行系统评价，分析饮食失调特定生活质量工具的特点。在6个数据库中进行了文献检索，并在2种期刊中进行了手工检索，涵盖1975年1月至2008年6月期间。检索策略共提供了29537篇参考文献。在符合本评价纳入标准的41项研究中，有5项报告了4种饮食失调特定工具的验证过程。在4种饮食失调特定生活质量工具中，有3种呈现了充分的开发程序和心理测量特性。然而，需要进一步的研究来证明这些工具的有效性和适用性。需要进行额外的验证研究，特别是针对否认自己患有疾病的患者。
