The clinical features of EDNOS: relationship to mood, health status and
general functioning
Study purpose: Eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) remains poorly evaluated in terms of eating
disorder features and relationship to mood, health status and general functioning. This study investigated
the clinical profiles of a sample of EDNOS patients, and how they compared to patients with anorexia nervosa
(AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN).
Method: The sample consisted of 178 patients. All completed the Eating Disorder Examination, Beck
Depression Inventory, Work and Social Adjustment Scale and Sf-36. ANOVAs were conducted to explore
group differences.
Results: No differences were found for depression. No differences were found between BN and EDNOS on
measures of health status and general functioning. AN patients reported greater role limitations due to
physical health and experienced greater physical pain compared with BN or EDNOS patients, and reported
poorer social functioning, lower vitality and higher functional impairment compared with EDNOS patients.
Conclusion: EDNOS patients are generally no less clinically impaired than those with BN. However AN
patients may be more impaired in some aspects of general functioning compared with BN or EDNOS patients.

Abstract
Study purpose: Eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) remains poorly evaluated in terms of eating

the clinical profiles of a sample of EDNOS patients, and how they compared to patients with anorexia nervosa
(AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN).
Method: The sample consisted of 178 patients. All completed the Eating Disorder Examination, Beck

Results: No differences were found for depression. No differences were found between BN and EDNOS on

poorer social functioning, lower vitality and higher functional impairment compared with EDNOS patients.
Conclusion: EDNOS patients are generally no less clinically impaired than those with BN. However AN
patients may be more impaired in some aspects of general functioning compared with BN or EDNOS patients.
