  1. Associations between baseline characteristics and disordered eating scores were calculated using Pearson correlation coefficients
  2. a Values derived from FFQ were with total daily caloric intake values truncated < 600 kcal and > 4000 kcal
  3. bMeasured using the Perceived Stress Scale [40]
  4. cMeasured using the Brief Symptom Inventory [38, 39]
  5. dMeasured using the short version of the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey [41]
