The Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire is a widely used self-report questionnaire for eating disorders. An Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire model that is not lacking in relevant content has been supported in three different samples, but existing studies on this model present shortcomings regarding generalizations to the general population. Therefore, the general purpose of the current research was to test the reliability and interpretation validity of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 scores in adults of both sexes from the Mexican general population. After translating, adapting, and assessing the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 in the target population through three pilot studies, we conducted two independent studies. In Study 1, 684 women and 433 men aged 18-83 participated, whereas in Study 2, 591 women and 382 men aged 18-86 did it. They answered the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 and a measure of either body dissatisfaction (Study 1) or self-esteem (Study 2). According to confirmatory factor analyses, the 14-item Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire model that we tested fit acceptably for the four samples (two female, two male) and was invariant across sex. All 14-item Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 scores were reliable according to Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega, except for only one factor score in men. Pearson's correlations of the 14-item Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 scores with body dissatisfaction and self-esteem were positive and negative, respectively. This new Latin American Spanish translation of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 works broadly as expected and provides evidence to extend the generalization of previous studies to the general population. Thus, the present translation of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 may be a valuable tool in the field of eating disorders for researchers and practitioners studying or serving Latin American Spanish speakers of either sex from the general population.
进食障碍问卷是一种广泛用于进食障碍的自我报告问卷。该模型在三个不同的样本中得到了支持，且内容相关，但现有研究在推广到一般人群方面存在不足。因此，本研究的总体目的是检验 Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 评分在墨西哥一般人群中男女两性成年人中的信度和解释效度。在通过三项试点研究对目标人群进行 Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 的翻译、改编和评估后，我们进行了两项独立的研究。在研究 1 中，684 名女性和 433 名 18-83 岁的男性参加了研究，而在研究 2 中，591 名女性和 382 名 18-86 岁的男性参加了研究。他们回答了 Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 和身体不满（研究 1）或自尊（研究 2）的测量。根据验证性因子分析，我们测试的 14 项 Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 模型在四个样本（两个女性样本，两个男性样本）中表现出可接受的拟合，并且在性别上是不变的。根据 Cronbach 的 alpha 和 McDonald 的 omega，除了男性中的一个因子分数外，所有 14 项 Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 分数都是可靠的。14 项 Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 分数与身体不满和自尊的 Pearson 相关分别为正相关和负相关。Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 的这种新的拉丁美洲西班牙语翻译广泛地符合预期，为将先前研究的推广到一般人群提供了证据。因此，Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 的这种翻译可能是研究或服务于来自一般人群的男女两性讲拉丁美洲西班牙语的进食障碍领域的研究人员和从业者的一种有价值的工具。
