Overview

Ecological momentary assessment reveals that body mass index and weight suppression predict body dissatisfaction, indicating disordered eating behaviors in non-clinical adults.

Key Points

  • Lower body mass index and greater weight suppression predicted higher body dissatisfaction in adults.
  • Weight suppression and body mass index also predicted stronger urges for unhealthy eating behaviors.
  • Eating disorder symptoms moderated the relationship, affecting dietary restraint urges based on body mass index levels.
  • Findings suggest limited utility of BMI and weight suppression as indicators of eating disorder-related states.
