Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis: Examining the Psychometric Evaluations of Disordered Eating Scales in Adults Living With Gastrointestinal Conditions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The scales used to assess disordered eating are often not validated in adults living with gastrointestinal conditions (i.e., gastrointestinal populations). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine the psychometric evaluations (i.e., assessments of reliability and validity) of disordered eating scales in adult gastrointestinal populations and quantify the prevalence of disordered eating in both gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal populations.

Methods

We conducted a search of observational studies up to May 2024 that measured disordered eating using a scale in adults with a gastrointestinal condition. Psychometric evaluations of the scales were narratively reviewed. Prevalence rates of disordered eating were pooled using a random-effects meta-
