BACKGROUND
Eating disorders (ED) are associated with symptoms across body image, disordered eating, and exercise-related domains, and while predominantly affecting females, ED in males is also a significant concern. However, popular self-report methods insufficiently capture male presentations. This study aimed (1) to validate the first Swedish translation of the Eating Pathology Symptoms Inventory (EPSI), which was designed to overcome limitations in previous measures, and (2) compare genders gender-specific manifestations of eating pathology, depression, and anxiety in Swedish high-school students.
METHODS
Participants were 359 high-school students (47% males) aged 17.0 years (range 15-21).
RESULTS
Confirmatory factor analysis and correlation patterns showed support for the 8-factor structure and convergent validity, but poorer discriminant validity may suggest caution in interpreting single scales as evidence of ED pathology. Gender comparisons were broadly consistent with previous research.
CONLUSIONS
The Swedish EPSI may be used to asses ED symptoms, but caution is suggested in interpreting some scales in isolation as indicative of ED pathology.
背景
饮食失调（ED）与身体形象、饮食紊乱以及运动相关领域的症状有关，虽然主要影响女性，但男性的饮食失调也是一个重大问题。然而，流行的自我报告方法无法充分捕捉男性的表现。本研究旨在：（1）验证饮食病理学症状量表（EPSI）的首个瑞典语译本，该量表旨在克服以往测量方法的局限性；（2）比较瑞典高中生中饮食病理学、抑郁和焦虑的性别特异性表现。
方法
参与者为359名17.0岁（年龄范围15 - 21岁）的高中生（47%为男性）。
结果
验证性因素分析和相关模式支持八因素结构和收敛效度，但较差的区分效度可能表明在将单个量表解释为饮食失调病理学证据时需谨慎。性别比较与先前研究大致一致。
结论
瑞典语版EPSI可用于评估饮食失调症状，但建议在单独解释某些量表以表明饮食失调病理学特征时要谨慎。
