concluded in a systematic review that mortality rates for eating disorders not otherwise specified (
EDNOS) are high especially in those with AN.
Bonnie's EDE results from our study suggested that she met the criteria for
EDNOS, thus pointing to a difference in how she viewed her practices with psychiatric guidelines.
This further raises the question whether yo-yo dieting falls within the category of Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (
EDNOS).
For this reason, we decided to measure different components of SWB in a sample of women with ED (AN, BN and
EDNOS) and a control group (individuals without body dissatisfaction).
The overall prevalence of eating disorders was 12.0% (16.4% for ballet dancers), 2.0% (4% for ballet dancers) for anorexia, 4.4% (2% for ballet dancers) for bulimia, and 9.5% (14.9% for ballet dancers) for eating disorders not otherwise specified (
EDNOS).
[4] The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) [5] or the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) [6] classified ED in anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and eating disorders not otherwise specified (
EDNOS).
Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (
EDNOS) is the third type of eating disorder.
Individuals with AN, BN, or eating disorder not otherwise specified (
EDNOS) are at increased risk of death compared with their age and gender matched peers.
Even though somewhere between 1 and 5 percent of Americans have binge-eating disorder, until now anyone diagnosed with the condition was classified as having an "eating disorder not otherwise specified" (
EDNOS).
There are several categories of eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and eating disorders not otherwise specified (
EDNOS).
However, a focus on BED alone will not contribute to a better understanding of how eating behavior affects weight-loss treatment [20] because bulimia nervosa (BN), eating disorders not otherwise specified (
EDNOS), and subdiagnostic binge eating disorders (BED minus one criterion = SBED) have also been reported in many of the obese presurgery patients [18, 19, 21].
The EAT-40 total score has also proved to be useful to differentiate between subjects with and without eating disorders (ED) (Alvarez et al., 2004; Castro et al., 1991; Gross, Rosen, Leitenberg, & Willmuth, 1986; Irala et al., 2008; Mintz & O'Halloran, 2000; Pereira et al., 2008), on one hand, and among different ED, including AN, Bulimia Nervosa (BN), and Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (
EDNOS; Alvarez et al., 2004), on the other hand.
