Comparing Operationalizations of Eating Disorder Recovery Using a Comprehensive Lens: Physical, Behavioral, and Cognitive Domains
Based on the holistic consideration of the patterns of findings, we propose using BMI ≥ 18.5 or 19 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (physical recovery), no binge eating, purging, or fasting over the past 3 months (behavioral recovery), and all four EDE-Q subscale scores within 1 SD of age- and gender-matched norms (cognitive recovery) as a standardized operationalization of recovery for research purposes.
