We focused on women, as existing research suggests that EDs disproportionately affect women. Within this sample, we took into account the intersections of different socio-demographic variables. Additionally, we assessed body dissatisfaction and subjective health status (S-HS) as self-reported measures to gain a more comprehensive understanding of ED risk.\r\nMethod\r\nWe conducted a cluster analysis (k-means) using ten demographic variables (e.g., sexual orientation, migration history, presence of disabilities), which revealed three distinct participant clusters. Then, we applied two multiple logistic regression models using cluster membership, body dissatisfaction related to fat (BD-F) and muscularity (BD-M), and S-HS as determinants, with the outcome being ED risk measured using two scales (EAT-8; EDE-Q).\r\nResults\r\nCluster Three – notably characterized by queer women with a migration history and identification as part of an ethnic minority - showed a consistently higher ED risk. In contrast, Cluster One, which included a higher proportion of older individuals as well as individuals with disabilities, or caregiving responsibilities, showed the lowest risk for ED. In Cluster Two an increased risk for EDs was observed in the EAT-8, but not in the EDE-Q, suggesting measurement-specific differences. BD-F and BD-M were significantly associated with ED risk. BD-F proved to be the factor with the strongest influence.\r\nConclusions\r\nWe emphasize the importance of considering person-centered socio-demographic positions and different forms of body dissatisfaction to assess the risk of ED.","lang":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","status":"public","issue":"1","publication":"Journal of Eating Disorders","title":"Associations between socio-demographic patterns, body dissatisfaction, and eating disorder risk in women: a cluster-based approach","article_type":"original","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2050-2974"]},"volume":14,"intvolume":"        14"},{"title":"Factor structure of the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) in adult men with eating disorders","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2050-2974"]},"volume":11,"pmid":"1","external_id":{"pmid":["36879335"],"isi":["000943959600001"]},"intvolume":"        11","author":[{"first_name":"Nora M.","full_name":"Laskowski, Nora M.","last_name":"Laskowski"},{"id":"85780","first_name":"Georg","full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg","orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215","last_name":"Halbeisen"},{"first_name":"Karsten","full_name":"Braks, Karsten","last_name":"Braks"},{"last_name":"Huber","first_name":"Thomas J.J.","full_name":"Huber, Thomas J.J."},{"full_name":"Paslakis, Georgios","first_name":"Georgios","last_name":"Paslakis"}],"publisher":"BioMed Central","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Background\r\nPrevious investigations on the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) factor structures in men have been restricted to non-clinical settings, limiting conclusions about the factorial validity in men with eating disorders (ED). This study aimed to examine the factor structure of the German EDE-Q in a clinical group of adult men with diagnosed ED.\r\nMethods\r\nED symptoms were assessed using the validated German version of the EDE-Q. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using principal-axis factoring based on polychoric correlations was conducted for the full sample (N = 188) using Varimax-Rotation with Kaiser-Normalization.\r\nResults\r\nHorn’s parallel analysis suggested a five-factor solution with an explained variance of 68%. The EFA factors were labeled “Restraint” (items 1, 3–6), “Body Dissatisfaction” (items 25–28), “Weight Concern” (items 10–12, 20), “Preoccupation” (items 7 and 8), and “Importance” (items 22 and 23). Items 2, 9, 19, 21, and 24 were excluded due to low communalities.\r\nConclusions\r\nFactors associated with body concerns and body dissatisfaction in adult men with ED are not fully represented in the EDE-Q. This could be due to differences in body ideals in men, e.g., the underestimation of the role of concerns about musculature. Consequently, it may be useful to apply the 17-item five-factor structure of the EDE-Q presented here to adult men with diagnosed ED."}],"publication_status":"published","status":"public","issue":"1","publication":"Journal of Eating Disorders","date_updated":"2026-04-08T12:36:59Z","date_created":"2026-03-25T13:36:30Z","department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"user_id":"83781","doi":"10.1186/s40337-023-00757-4","isi":"1","year":"2023","citation":{"chicago":"Laskowski, Nora M., Georg Halbeisen, Karsten Braks, Thomas J.J.
