Prevalence and severity of eating disorders: A comparison of DSM-IV and DSM-5 among German adolescents.
Verena ErnstArne BürgerFlorian HammerlePublished in: The International journal of eating disorders (2017)
We provide an in-depth overview of changes resulting from the revisions of DSM eating disorder criteria in a German adolescent sample. Despite the overall increase in prevalence estimates, the results suggest that the DSM-5 criteria differentiate participants with threshold disorders and OSFED from those no diagnosis as well as or even more distinctly than the DSM-IV criteria.
