Heterogeneity in sexual functioning among women with eating disorders: exploring the role of body trusting and need for approval using mixture regression modeling

These findings suggest the utility of interventions targeting interoception and attachment-related features and highlight the importance of individualized approaches to promote sexual well-being in the treatment of EDs.
