Patients and methods: The final sample included 76 eating disorder patients (mean age 20.13 ㊣ 2.28 years; 59 women and seven men). After having obtained informed consent, the following questionnaires were administered: Body Appreciation Scale (BAS), Body Image Quality of Life Inventory (BIQLI-SP), Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), Eating Disorders Inventory-2 (EDI-2), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) and Thought-Shape Fusion Questionnaire (TSF-Q). Results: Significant correlations were found between TSF-Q and body image-related variables. Those with higher scores in TSF showed higher scores in the BSQ (P %26lt; 0.0001), Eating Disorder Inventory 每 Drive for Thinness (EDI-DT) (P %26lt; 0.0001), and Eating Disorder Inventory 每 Body Dissatisfaction (EDI-BD) (P %26lt; 0.0001). The same patients showed lower scores in the BAS (P %26lt; 0.0001). With respect to the psychopathological variables, patients with high TSF obtained higher scores in all SCL-90-R subscales as well as in the STAI. Conclusion: The current study shows the interrelations among different body image-related variables, TSF, and body image quality of life.
