  text: This study examined the dimensional structure of the German Eating Disorder
    Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) in clinical groups of women with Anorexia Nervosa
    (AN; N = 821), Bulimia Nervosa (BN; N = 573), and Binge-Eating Disorder (BED;
    N = 359) using Exploratory Graph Analyses (EGA). The EGA yielded a 12-item-four-dimension
    structure for the AN group (subscales “Restraint”, “Body Dissatisfaction”, “Preoccupation”,
    “Importance”), a 20-item-five-dimension structure for the BN group (subscales
    “Restraint”, “Body Dissatisfaction”, “Eating Concern”, “Preoccupation”, “Importance”),
    and a 17-item-four-dimension structure for the BED group (subscales “Restraint”,
    “Body Dissatisfaction”, “Concern”, “Importance”). This first investigation of
    the EDE-Q's dimensional structure using EGA suggests that the original factor
    model may be suboptimal for specific clinical ED samples and that alternative
    scoring should be considered when screening specific cohorts or evaluating the
    effects of interventions.
