Discussion

Confirmatory factor analysis validates EDE-Q7's psychometric properties in adults, suggesting measurement invariance across sex.

The EDE-Q7 showed a three-factor structure: dietary restraint, body dissatisfaction, and shape/weight over evaluation.
Confirmatory factor analysis indicates satisfactory fit and supports measurement invariance across sex in the Spanish adult sample.
Internal consistency for the EDE-Q7 was good, and it demonstrated positive correlations with body mass index and self-esteem.
Findings validate the Spanish version of EDE-Q7 as a reliable tool for assessing eating disorders in both men and women.

Peláez-Fernández et al. (2025) studied this question.
