  1. Analyses were conducted using the ED-symptomatic (n = 384) versus non-ED (n = 379) subgroups. Scores ranged from 1 to 7, with higher scores indicating higher endorsement of each subscale. AUC = Area under the curve; CI = Confidence Interval; ED = Eating Disorder; ED-CBQ = Eating Disorder Core Beliefs Questionnaire; ED-CBQ-R = Eating Disorder Core Beliefs Questionnaire Revised; NPV = Negative predictive value; PPV = Positive predictive value; ROC = Receiver operating characteristic curve
