Confirmatory factor analysis supports a three-factor model in young adults, suggesting the EDE-Q may require adaptation for diverse populations.

The study found that the three-factor, 7-item EDE-Q provides the best fit for Lithuanian young adults’ eating disorder symptoms.
Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that women scored significantly higher than men across all subscales of the questionnaire.
A demographically diverse sample of 800 participants aged 18–30 was utilized to evaluate the questionnaire's effectiveness in Lithuania.
EDE-Q 7 demonstrated adequate convergent validity, correlating with measures of personality functioning, anxiety, and depression.
