¹Results showed as mean (standard deviation). Types of patients have been labeled in alphabetical order. The four subtypes (A, B, C and D) identified for the MCA factors “Psychosocial impairment” (first factor), and “Socio-demographic data” (second factor) provide a typology of eating disorders patients. MCQ: Metacognitions questionnaire; CIA: Clinical impairment assessment; EAT-12: Eating attitudes test; HeRQoLED: Health-related quality of life in eating disorder-short form; SocM: Social maladjustment domain; MHF: Mental health and functionality domain; PSWQ-R: Penn state worry questionnaire.

Types of patients have been labeled in alphabetical order. The four subtypes (A, B, C and D) identified for the MCA factors “Psychosocial impairment” (first factor), and “Socio-demographic data” (second factor) provide a typology of eating disorders patients. ED: Eating disorder; AN: Anorexia nervosa; BN: Bulimia nervosa; EDNOS: Eating disorder not otherwise specified. Type and subtype of eating disorder are based on DMS-IV-TR.
