Transdiagnostic fears and avoidance behaviors in self-reported eating disorders

Table 5 Avoidance behaviors measured with the FAB and the EDE-Q

FOFM	AN-R (N = 84)	AN-BP (N = 57)	BN (N = 37)	BED (N = 19)	OSFED (N = 46)	HC (N = 89)
FAB	31.14 (7.56)^b,d	30.65 (9.15)^a,c,d	27.35 (7.87)^b,d,e	18.53 (7.78)^a,b,c,e	27.22 (8.07)^c,d	10.84 (5.99)

EDE-Q	AN-R (N = 82)	AN-BP (N = 55)	BN (N = 35)	BED (N = 17)	OSFED (N = 40)	HC (N = 83)
Eating restraint	3.42 (1.46)^e	3.98 (1.63)^c,d,e	3.96 (1.22)^b,d,e	2.58 (1.35)^b,c	3.39 (1.55)^a−c	0.94 (1.00)

Different lettered superscripts were used to indicate which eating disorder diagnoses differed from each other and which were equal at a statistical level of > 3 for the corrected posterior odds. The groups are coded as follows: AN-R = a, AN-BP = b, BN = c, BED = d, OSFED = e. Letters written italic represent group differences. Non-italic letters represent equality
AN-R, anorexia nervosa restrictive subtype; AN-BP, anorexia nervosa binge-purge subtype; BN, bulimia nervosa; BED, binge eating disorder; OSFED, other specified feeding and eating disorder; HC, healthy controls
