An exploratory study of associations between the ICD-11 personality disorder model and eating pathology

Abstract

Plain English Summary The International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision (ICD-11) contains a novel personality disorder model. We explored how this model’s components (i.e., personality dysfunction, five maladaptive personality traits) relate to eating pathology. The model components were significantly and complementarily related to a drive for thinness, bulimia, body dissatisfaction, orthorexia, and binge eating. Hence, the ICD-11 personality disorder model may potentially prove helpful in better understanding individual differences in eating pathology.
