  1. SCL-90-R GSI symptom checklist 90 revised global severity index, EDE-Q eating disorders examination questionnaire, CTQ childhood trauma questionnaire, STAI state-trait anxiety inventory, EES emotional eating scale.
  2. Standardised regression coefficients (β) are reported; p-values: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
