Abstract

Despite the high risk of medical complications and mortality in patients with eating disorders (EDs), the identification of risk factors and predictors of these disorders remains largely unknown. The recognition of predictors is particularly important in view of developing preventive strategies for targeted groups of high-risk subjects (1). In the field of EDs, high-risk subjects are usually identified by means of self-reported questionnaires and mainly include those experiencing symptoms of the disorder, such as high levels of body dissatisfaction and clinical perfectionism in individuals who are dieting or using other compensatory behaviors to control body weight and shape.
