  1. Abbreviations: %mBMI a percentage of median Body Mass Index for young people of the same height, age and sex, EDE Eating Disorder Examination, BDI Beck’s Depression Inventory, RSE Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale
  2. abecause the duration of illness distribution is skewed, the median is the appropriate measure of central tendency; most other studies have used the mean (sd) value and we report this as well to provide comparison with other reports
