This study examined the associations between pathological motivations for exercise (measured by exercise dependence), eating disorder (ED) severity, and ED-specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Survey data was collected from 387 female university students assessing ED severity, HRQOL, and exercise dependence. Regression analyses found that higher ED severity and exercise dependence scores both predicted poorer HRQOL. Additionally, there was a significant interaction between ED severity and exercise dependence, such that those with an ED and higher exercise dependence reported the worst HRQOL. This suggests that pathological motivations for exercise may exacerbate the detrimental effects of ED on quality of life.
This document reviews the evidence for different types of exercise as a treatment for Parkinson's disease. It finds that cardiovascular exercise, balance training, and resistance training can all provide benefits. Cardiovascular exercise may improve gait, balance, quality of life, and reduce mortality risk. Balance training can improve gait, balance, and reduce falls, especially when combined with resistance training. Resistance training can increase muscle strength, endurance, and mobility. The review develops a suggested home-based exercise regimen combining these modalities to maximize benefits for patients with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease.
The document summarizes a study that compared the mental health of active elderly individuals who participated in regular physical activity to inactive elderly individuals.
The study found that:
1) Active elderly individuals had significantly better mental health across physical, stress, social, and depression measures than inactive elderly individuals.
2) There was no significant difference in mental health between active elderly males and females, indicating that both benefit equally from physical activity.
3) Regular physical activity was concluded to enhance not just physical fitness but also mental health and quality of life for elderly individuals.
This clinical practice guideline from the Endocrine Society provides recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA). FHA is a form of chronic anovulation caused by stress, weight loss, excessive exercise or a combination thereof, rather than identifiable organic causes. The guideline recommends excluding other causes through medical history, examination and laboratory tests before diagnosing FHA. Treatment involves correcting energy imbalance through increased caloric intake and/or decreased exercise, as well as psychological support. Short-term hormone therapy may be considered if menses do not return with lifestyle changes alone.

Erectile Dysfunction and Risk Factors in Male Peruvian Hemodialysis Patientsasclepiuspdfs
Introduction: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition in patients with renal disease, but little is known about the prevalence of ED in some specific groups of patients such as Peruvian hemodialysis (HD) patients. Materials and Methods: A cross‑sectional study was conducted to determine the frequency of ED in HD patients (n = 390) in Lima, Peru. The prevalence and severity of ED were assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function with the validated Peruvian version. The dependence of ED on independent variables was evaluated by logistic regression. P ≤ 0.05 was regarded as statistically significant.
1. The document discusses the use of yoga as an alternative or complementary treatment to standardized pharmaceutical therapies for mental illnesses like depression and anxiety.
2. Several research studies presented in the document found that yoga led to reductions in heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormones as well as improvements in immune functioning and psychological well-being.
3. The document argues that yoga engages the body's natural healing system and treats the underlying causes of illness rather than just suppressing symptoms like many pharmaceutical therapies.

This study aimed to develop abbreviated versions of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and Short Health Anxiety Inventory (SHAI) for use in busy orthopedic settings. The researchers analyzed data from 164 patients and identified questions from the original scales that highly correlated with each other and the full scales. For the PCS, questions 3, 6, 8 and 11 were selected, creating the PCS-4. For the SHAI, questions 2, 3, 12, 15 and 17 were chosen, forming the SHAI-5. Both the PCS-4 and SHAI-5 showed good internal consistency and correlated highly with the original full scales. The abbreviated scales also correlated equally well with measures of disability,
Background: There are very a few studies on psychiatric symptoms in patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients and assessing glycemic controls.

Elderly compliance to physical therapy programs is an important issue, as noncompliance can lead to negative health outcomes. Studies have found that one-third to two-thirds of patients are not fully compliant with prescribed exercises. The Health Belief Model and Self-Determination Theory can help explain factors influencing compliance. Key factors include a patient's perceived susceptibility, severity of their condition, barriers/benefits to treatment, and level of intrinsic motivation. Improving patient education and autonomy support can increase long-term compliance to physical therapy programs.
This document is a thesis submitted by Andrew C. Hall to Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Master of Science degree in Health and Human Performance in July 2014. The thesis examines the effectiveness of a 12-week fitness intervention for individuals diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. Eleven adults participated in the study, which involved moderate intensity aerobic exercise 3 times per week for 30 minutes, gradually increasing the intensity over 12 weeks. The thesis measured various health markers before and after the intervention to determine the impact on risk factors for metabolic syndrome. It found significant improvements in several areas, including weight, abdominal girth, flexibility, and muscular endurance. However, it did not find significant changes in all risk factors. The study
This study examined differences in physical fitness and physical activity self-efficacy among 1,432 4th grade students from urban and suburban schools. It found that minority and low-socioeconomic status (SES) children scored lower than white and higher-SES peers on fitness tests and a self-efficacy scale. Among girls and boys, significant effects were seen for ethnicity and SES. Post-hoc analysis revealed minority and low-SES students scored lower on mile run, curl-ups, push-ups, BMI, and self-efficacy. The study aims to use these findings to develop school-based interventions to improve physical fitness and health among underserved minority youth.

This study investigated the determinants of physical activity in ovarian cancer survivors through a survey of 359 survivors in Alberta, Canada. 31.1% of survivors met physical activity guidelines. Younger age, higher education/income, employment, lower BMI, longer time since diagnosis, earlier disease stage and being disease-free were associated with meeting guidelines. Intention was the strongest correlate of physical activity and was influenced by attitude and perceived behavioral control. Improving health and weight control were key motivators for activity, while lack of time and motivation were barriers.
This document discusses anxiety levels among college students. It notes that college is a stressful time with high workloads, activities, and expectations that can trigger anxiety. Statistics show anxiety is very common among college students. While college environments increase stress, activities like exercise can help reduce it. A study found students with high physical activity had lower anxiety and stress. The document emphasizes the importance of physical fitness for college student mental and physical health.
This document summarizes a journal club presentation on a study evaluating changes in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in brain tumor patients before and after surgery. The study assessed 258 patients using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BN20 questionnaires before and 3-6 months after surgery. After surgery, global QOL and emotional function improved significantly, while physical function declined. Larger tumor size, younger age, and lack of preoperative deficits were associated with poorer postoperative QOL. The study concluded that several factors influence HRQOL in brain tumor patients, and further research is needed to better understand long-term changes and ways to enhance QOL.
exercise therapy for older adults with low-back pain (protocol)JUSCELIO SILVA
This document is a protocol for a systematic review that will evaluate the effectiveness of exercise therapy for older adults with low-back pain. The objectives are to assess whether exercise therapy improves pain and functional performance in older adults with non-specific low-back pain compared to no treatment or other conservative treatments. The introduction provides background on the increasing prevalence of low-back pain in aging populations and challenges in managing it for older adults. It describes non-specific low-back pain and outlines how exercise therapy may work to improve outcomes by increasing strength, flexibility, and reducing inflammation.
This study investigated factors that influence mood in college students at Benedictine University. 50 students completed surveys on diet, exercise, sleep, substance use, and stress/anxiety/depression levels. Higher intake of sweets and high mercury fish were associated with greater reported stress. Higher total cholesterol levels and TC/HDL ratios were linked to higher anxiety scores. Students doing more vigorous exercise per week had significantly lower anxiety scores. The results suggest lifestyle factors like diet, physical activity and blood lipid levels may impact mood in college populations.

The review assessed the methods used to obtain health state values and investigated the content validity of the EQ-5D for measuring quality of life in people with HD.
This document summarizes a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the association between diurnal cortisol slopes and mental and physical health outcomes. The review analyzed 179 associations from 80 studies published up until January 2015. The results found a significant association between flatter diurnal cortisol slopes and poorer health across all studies, with an average effect size of r=0.147. Flatter slopes were associated with poorer outcomes for 10 out of 12 health domains examined, particularly for immune and inflammation outcomes. Potential moderators like type of slope measurement and study quality were also explored.

Critical care rehabilitation is an important part of the recovery process for ICU patients. It begins with early mobilization like passive range of motion exercises and progresses to active transfers, sitting at the edge of the bed, and eventually ambulation. A multidisciplinary team approach that includes nurses, physiotherapists, and other allied health professionals comprehensively assesses patients and develops individualized rehabilitation plans and goals. Regular evaluation during the ICU stay, before discharge, and after discharge is important to optimize recovery outcomes and quality of life.
Evidence based physical activity for school age youthbeatriz9911
This document summarizes an expert panel's review of evidence on the effects of physical activity on health outcomes in school-age youth. The panel identified over 850 relevant articles through a systematic search. They found:
1) Most intervention studies showed benefits of 30-45 minutes per day of moderate to vigorous physical activity 3-5 days per week. However, the panel believed greater amounts would be needed for benefits under normal circumstances.
2) The panel concluded that school-age youth should participate in 60 minutes or more per day of moderate to vigorous physical activity from a variety of activities.
3) Physical activity was associated with reduced adiposity, especially for overweight youth, and improved cardiovascular health factors like blood lipid levels and aer

This study examined the relationship between exercise levels and perceived stress in 112 college students. The students completed a survey assessing their gender, class standing, exercise habits, and perceived stress levels. The results showed that stress levels decreased as exercise duration increased from under 20 minutes to 40 minutes to an hour. However, students exercising over an hour had higher stress levels, possibly due to athletic training regimens. The study suggests moderate exercise may help reduce stress for college students and warrants further research into exercise types and amounts. It also found females reported higher stress than males on average and that stress varied by class year. This initial study provides ground for establishing an educational program on the mental health benefits of physical activity.

Running head: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND SELF-EFFICACY 1
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND SELF-EFFICACY 2
The Relationship between Physical Activity and Self-Efficacy in Schools
Abstract
Few studies have examined the relationship between physical activities and health outcomes among adolescents. The majority of the adult population knows much about health-risk behaviours of adolescents, and knows less about their health-promoting behaviours. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between physical activity levels and self-efficacy among adolescents.
Introduction
According to Start Active, regular physical activity associates with benefits for physical and mental health (as cited in Roberts et al, 2015). Studies have indicated that health life traits and styles have an impact on lifelong health and life quality. Childhood poor diet and physical inactivity have been risk factors for a multitude of chronic health condition in adulthood (Matthews et al, 2015). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for children, only 42% of children and 8% of adolescents achieve current recommended physical activity.
Most students studying in Hoca Ahment Yesevi University were hound to have health issues emanating from lack of physical exercise and personal fitness programs (Ozkan, 2015). Up to 70 per cent of university students are reported as not participating in regular free-time physical activity or exercise (Haase et al, 2004, as cited in Roberts et al, 2014). Simon et al (2015) mentioned that majority of the adult population fails to achieve recommended daily exercise, 30-minutes moderate intensity exercise. When physical activity is conducted regularly as the researchers found out, it is likely to improve the physical fitness of the students and generally of people and therefore contributing heavily to better healthy life styles. Achieving daily exercise was shown to promote better sleep quality and higher psychological functioning in adolescents (Kalak et al, 2012, as cited in Rew et al, 2015).
Styles and activities that promote the health of humans increase their chances of wellbeing and therefore promote healthy living. In achieving well-being in health, there must be a mentioned engagement in activities which are likely to enhance the same such as proper exercises and fitness methods. Health promotion takes quite a multidimensional structure, that is, intellectual, mental, physical and social and therefore a number of behaviours which are meant at promoting behaviours are identified by health professionals and other researchers. These behaviours include life appreciation, stress management, health responsibility, social support, exercise and better nutrition. Therefore a general conclusion is arrived at that physical activity and exercise have an impact on the quality of human life and can actually aid its improveme.
The review paper explores obsessive compulsive disorder and how thoughts, feelings, ideas or behaviors can cause distress or interfere with daily functioning. The author hypothesized that cognitive-behavioral treatment would be most effective in maintaining quality of life for adults whose physical, emotional or social functioning is affected. Obsessive compulsive disorder causes anxiety through repetitive thoughts and behaviors and is one of the most common mental disorders. It impairs quality of life, particularly in social functioning. Treatments include medication, cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques.

It found that exercise was directly related to physical functioning but not related to self-efficacy, psychological distress, or quality of well-being. Self-efficacy and psychological distress were significantly related to quality of well-being, suggesting that treatments focusing on these may be most effective for improving well-being in osteoarthritis patients.
This document provides information on chronic illness in adolescents including:
- Chronic illnesses are long-lasting health conditions that impact physical, mental, and social well-being. Examples include asthma, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
- Approximately 20-30% of adolescents in the US have a chronic illness, with 10-13% reporting substantial limitations. Depression and non-adherence to treatment plans are common issues.
- Several assessment tools are recommended to evaluate an adolescent's medical history, illness impact, depression, anxiety, quality of life, and treatment adherence.
- Suggested intervention strategies include cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge irrational thoughts and beliefs, develop coping skills, and improve treatment adherence.
Not Only Depressed. A Pilot Study on Quality of Life of Women with Urinary In...inventionjournals
The urinary incontinence syndrome is a common disease, whose etiology is still unclear. The survey of psychological variables generally highlights a poverty quality of life, depressive features, and difficulties in sexual life. The goal of this pilot study – sample of 97 women with urinary incontinence - is to give these patients a more complex picture, evaluating aspects of pain (depression and other mental illness indicators, alexithymia, sex life), but also investigating if there are good aspects in their life which act as counterweight. It 's so emerged as the patients lead a healthy life and have generally good relations, it is a good couple relationship, both good relationships with parents and have different interests in life. In particular, the women with self-interest are not depressed and have no traits of alexithymia. It is so important in clinical practice to not take for granted the presence of a psychological suffering and rather encourage patients to cultivate self-interests.
This document reviews the literature on the mental health benefits of physical activity. It discusses how physical activity has been shown to improve symptoms of depression and other mental illnesses when used as a treatment. Regular physical activity may also help prevent future episodes of depressive illness. However, studies on the association between physical activity and mental health are limited and the relationship may depend on the intensity and type of physical activity. Overall, the literature demonstrates that physical activity can support mental health, but more research is still needed.

Eating Disorders and Self Esteem in Adolescents, Teens, and Young Adults
How do self-esteem and eating disorders interact with one another in terms of gender bias, gender difference, and gender predisposition?
Is there a correlation between self-esteem and eating disorders and if so, can a symbiotic or cyclical relationship be determined?
Introduction
Body image, eating disorders, self-esteem, and muscularity are all very significant and pressing issues facing adolescents and young adults. The reasons for the formations of maladaptive behaviors associated with these issues warrant review some of the research literature surrounding them. Hopefully the following will bring to light pertinent and helpful information on the subject in regard to similarities and/or differences between genders as well as what role society/environment and internal perceptions have in influencing the formation of eating disorders in this vulnerable and at risk population.

This document summarizes a study that examined the effects of an eating disorder prevention program on eating disorder characteristics among adolescent ballet dancers. The study had two aims: 1) to have adolescent ballet dancers complete an eating disorder prevention program and compare outcomes to a control group, and 2) to measure eating disorder characteristics before, immediately after, and 6 months post-intervention using the Eating Disorder Inventory-3. The literature review discusses eating disorder prevalence among adolescent dancers, risk factors like perfectionism, and previous prevention programs aimed at dancers.
The document summarizes a randomized controlled trial that examined whether increasing subjective well-being through a 12-week positive psychology intervention could improve physical health in healthy adults. 155 community participants were randomly assigned to a treatment or wait-list control group. The treatment group received weekly positive psychology exercises aimed at increasing happiness. Results found that the treatment improved self-reported physical health measures like number of sick days over the previous month, compared to the control group. Improvements in subjective well-being from the treatment also predicted decreases in number of sick days over time, providing some evidence for a causal link between happiness and physical health.
This study examined the effects of depression on sexual function and quality of life in 60 outpatients with major depressive disorder. The results found that 75% of patients reported sexual dysfunction, with impaired orgasm being the most common issue. Severity of depression, as measured by BDI score, was positively correlated with severity of sexual dysfunction and negatively correlated with quality of life scores. Patients with more severe depression or sexual dysfunction had greater impairment in physical health, psychological health, social relationships and environment/quality of life. The results support previous findings of high rates of sexual dysfunction in untreated depressed patients and strong links between depression severity, sexual functioning and quality of life.

Introduction
Heart failure (HF) is a progres-
sive disease, which commonly
results in functional impairment
and activity intolerance (Yancy
et al., 2013). As symptom se-
verity increases, the ability to
perform activities of daily liv-
ing is affected, creating a barrier
to effective self-care (Riegel et
al., 2009). In fact, HF is one of
the most common reasons for
hospitalization among individu-
als 65 years and older and the
main reason for about 16 million
visits to ambulatory care cen-
ters each year (American Heart
Association, 2013). Thus, many
patients rely on home healthcare
clinicians to assist with daily
tasks and disease management
(e.g., treatment adherence, daily
weight monitoring, etc.) to pre-
vent these adverse outcomes.
Living with HF not only has
physiological ramifications, but
psychological effects as well.
For example, prior research indi-
cates that approximately 50% of
individuals with HF experience
depressive symptoms (Gottlieb
et al., 2004) secondary to HF
symptoms and functional im-
pairment (Carels, 2004; Cully et
al., 2010). Depressive symptoms
are known barriers to effective
self-care (Suter et al., 2012) and
influence morbidity and mortal-
ity in HF (Yancy et al., 2013).
How one copes with increasing
symptoms of HF may influence
the development of depressive
symptoms. Although findings
FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH

Depressive Symptoms
Home healthcare clinicians commonly provide care for individu-
als with heart failure (HF). Certain factors may influence the de-
velopment of depressive symptoms in those with HF. This cross-
sectional, descriptive, correlational pilot study (N = 50) examined
interrelationships among HF symptoms, social support (actual and
perceived), social problem-solving, and depressive symptoms. Find-
ings indicated that increased HF symptoms were related to more
depressive symptoms, whereas higher levels of social support were
related to fewer depressive symptoms. The use of more maladaptive ...
R E S E A R C H A R T I C L ERelationship Between Frequenc.docxcatheryncouper
This research article examined the relationship between frequency and intensity of physical activity and health behaviors in adolescents. Researchers analyzed survey data from over 800 high school students regarding their physical activity levels and health behaviors over the past 30 days. They found that adolescents who engaged in high levels of vigorous physical activity were less likely to use marijuana or engage in heavy marijuana use, consumed more healthy carbohydrates and fats, used stress management techniques more frequently, and reported better quality of sleep compared to those with low vigorous physical activity. Few differences were seen based on frequency of moderate physical activity. The findings suggest frequent vigorous physical activity in adolescents may reduce risky behaviors and promote healthy behaviors. More research is needed to better understand these relationships.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To examine associations
among pathological motivations for exer-
cise with eating disorder (ED) specific
health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
Method: Survey data assessing ED sever-
ity (i.e., Eating Disorder Diagnostic Sur-
vey), ED specific HRQOL (i.e., Eating
Disorders Quality of Life Instrument), and
pathological motivations for exercise (i.e.,
Exercise Dependence Scale) were col-
lected from female students (N 5 387) at
seven universities throughout the United
States. Regression analyses were con-
ducted to examine the associations
among exercise dependence, ED-specific
HRQOL and ED severity, and the interac-
tion of exercise dependence and ED
severity on HRQOL scores.
Results: The overall model examining
the impact of ED severity and exercise
dependence (independent variables) on
HRQOL (dependent variable) was signifi-
cant and explained 16.1% of the variance
in HRQOL scores. Additionally, the main
effects for ED severity and exercise
dependence and the interaction among
ED severity and exercise dependence
were significant, suggesting that the com-
bined effects of ED severity and exercise
dependence significantly impacts HRQOL.
Discussion: Our results suggest that
pathological motivations for exercise may
exacerbate ED’s detrimental impact on
HRQOL. Our results offer one possible
insight into why exercise may be associ-
ated with deleterious effects on ED
HRQOL. Future research is needed to elu-
cidate the relationship among psychologi-
cal aspects of exercise, ED, and HRQOL.

Introduction
Disease specific health-related quality of life
(HRQOL) represents a disease or condition’s impact
on the overall and specific areas of an individual’s
health and well-being, yet it is often overlooked as
an outcome when examining the impact of psychi-
atric disorders. Recent research on eating disorders
(ED) and HRQOL has shown that both clinical and
subclinical ED individuals have lower levels of
HRQOL than normal controls.1
Furthermore, the
HRQOL detriments observed in ED are on par with
the HRQOL detriments observed in other serious
disorders (e.g., somatoform disorders, alcohol
abuse, diabetes, cancer, and pulmonary disor-
ders).1
If the ED is left untreated HRQOL detri-
ments may persist2
; however, HRQOL improves as
a result of ED treatment.3,4
Thus, identifying
behaviors that may contribute to the detrimental
impact on HRQOL may elucidate potential path-
ways that, if intervened upon, could improve
HRQOL.
Exercise is one behavior that is associated with
earlier ED onset, more ED symptoms, and higher
persistence of ED behavior.5
Specifically, compul-
sions are one pathological motivation for exercise
that has been associated with greater ED symp-
tomatology (e.g., EDE global severity score, vomit-
ing frequency, and depression).6
Consequently, the
distinction between exercise amount and patho-
logical motivations is important in ED.7,8
One
important limitation in synthesizing knowledge
from studies that have examined pathological
motivations for exercise is the use of multiple
terms to describe problematic patterns of exercise.
While compulsive exercise is the preferred term
used in the ED literature,9
a recent literature review
has concluded that terms such as exercise addic-
tion, compulsion, and dependence all describe the

iors that are common to ED. Thus, recent research
has shown that the detrimental effects of exercise
on ED may be mediated by exercise depend-
ence.11,12
Moreover, exercise dependence is associ-
ated with detriments in psychological well-being
and physical=cognitive well-being domains of ED-
specific HRQOL.13
A recent review of HRQOL in ED concluded that
motivations for exercising (e.g., exercise depend-
ence) appear to predict HRQOL.1
Previous research
has found significant relationships for exercise
dependence and psychological aspects of HRQOL
on ED symptoms,13
but has failed to investigate the
main effects and interaction effect of ED severity
and exercise dependence on total HRQOL scores.
Therefore, continued examination of the associa-
tion between exercise dependence and ED-specific
HRQOL is warranted. The purpose of this study
was to examine the unique and interactive effects
of self-reported ED severity and exercise depend-
ence on ED specific HRQOL. We hypothesized that
ED severity will be more strongly associated with
reduced HRQOL in individuals with higher levels of
exercise dependence.13
Method
Procedure
All study procedures were reviewed and approved by
the Institutional Review Board. Participants in this report
were from a larger sample13
examining the relationship
between exercise, health, and psychological states. Par-
ticipants were recruited from large lecture style classes
from seven colleges and universities in the United States
through announcements regarding a study. After com-
pleting the informed consent, the students were given a
pen and paper survey to complete during class time. The
survey took about 15 min to complete.
Participants
Participants were 387 female university students (M
age 5 20.11, SD 5 2.21). For educational level, most of
the women were sophomores (51.42%), followed by jun-
iors (21.19%), seniors (16.54%), freshmen (9.30%), and
graduate=professional (1.03%). The participants were
mostly Caucasian (65.89%) followed by African-
American (12.92%), Hispanic (8.53%), Asian (8.53%), and
others (4.13%). Full threshold (i.e., met all diagnostic cri-
teria) and subthreshold (i.e., at least one symptom was of
sub-diagnostic severity) ED severity assessed by the
Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale14,15
revealed rates of
full threshold anorexia nervosa (1.30%), full threshold
bulimia nervosa (3.37%), subthreshold anorexia nervosa
(2.59%), and subthreshold bulimia nervosa (3.89%). Indi-
viduals with self-reported full and subthreshold anorexia
nervosa and bulimia nervosa were collapsed into one ED
group (n 5 43) and compared with individuals without a
self-reported eating disorder (n 5 324). Binge eating dis-
order was excluded from these analyses because physical
activity prevalence is low and may be uncorrelated with
measures of eating disorders and psychological function-
ing in individuals with binge eating disorder.16,17
Measures
Demographic Questionnaire. The Demographic Ques-
tionnaire assessed the participant’s self-reported year in
school, age, weight, height, and ethnicity.
Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale (EDDS). The EDDS14,15
was used to determine ED symptoms and tentative diag-
nosis. The EDDS is a brief (i.e., 22 items) and psychomet-
rically sound measure for assessing symptoms and
diagnostic features of: (a) anorexia nervosa; (b) bulimia
nervosa; and (c) binge eating disorder. Cronbach’s a
(alpha) was used to determine the scale’s internal consis-
tency and provide an estimate of reliability. The EDDS
reliability in this study was good (a 5 0.85). The EDDs
has shown high agreement with clinical interviews for
the assessment of anorexia nervosa (j 5 0.93) and buli-
mia nervosa (j 5 0.81).14
Exercise Dependence Scale (EDS). The EDS18
is a 21-
item measure assessing the physiological and psycholog-
ical aspects of exercise dependence symptoms. Examples
of items include: “I am unable to reduce how intense I
exercise”; “I exercise to avoid feeling tense”; and “I exer-
cise despite persistent physical problems”. Responses to
the items are on a 6-point Likert scale ranging from 1
(never) to 6 (always). A lower score reveals less exercise
dependence symptoms. Multiple validation studies and a
recent literature review have concluded that the psycho-
metric properties of this scale are good.10,18,19
The EDS
reliability in this study was excellent (a 5 0.97).
The Eating Disorders Quality of Life Instrument (EDQOL).
The EDQOL20
includes the following subscales: psycho-
logical, physical=cognitive, financial, work=school, and a
total score. The EDQOL is 25 item scale and it is more
sensitive to ED-specific aspects of HRQOL than generic
measures of HRQOL. Subscale and total scores may
range from 0 to 4, with a lower score indicating better
QOL. The EDQOL reliability in this study was excellent (a
5 0.94).
Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire (LTEQ). The LTEQ
is a self-report of the frequency and duration that an
individual engages in strenuous, moderate, and mild
bouts of exercise during a typical week.21
Each of the

3. intensity scores are converted into metabolic equivalents
(METS; [Mild x 3] 1 [Moderate x 5] 1 [Strenuous x 9])
and summed to provide an estimate of total METS
expenditure from exercise for an average week. The
LTEQ is a valid and psychometrically sound measure
that is frequently used to assess exercise behavior. The
MET values for the LTEQ are based on published reports
of its validity,21,22
and this measure is considered the
gold standard for self-report exercise assessment.23
Con-
sistent with previous research protocols, minutes
engaged in mild exercise were not used in these analyses,
but the category was included in the questionnaire to
ensure that participants did not report mild exercise
minutes in the moderate intensity category.24
Statistical Analysis
First, we centered the EDS scores and calculated an
interaction variable for EDS and ED status. Next, an ordi-
nary least squares regression (OLS) analyses was used to
examine the associations among exercise dependence and
ED severity on HRQOL. The interaction effect was exam-
ined because we were particularly interested in examining
the moderating influence of exercise dependence on the
relationship between ED severity and HRQOL.
Results
ED severity (ED vs nonED) was determined by
scores on the EDDS. That is, the EDDS algorithm15
was followed to categorize participants into ED or
nonED groups based on symptom severity. There-
fore, these analyses take into account ED severity.
Exercise dependence symptoms were measured by
the EDS (M 5 41.31, SD 5 16.90) and ED-specific
HRQOL was measured by the EDQOL total score
(M 5 0.40, SD 5 0.45). The means and standard
deviations for the EDS, EDQOL, and LTEQ for the
ED and nonED groups are reported in Table 1. To
our knowledge, EDS assessments of ED individuals
have not been previously reported. Our nonED
group’s mean of 40.40 (SD 5 15.70) is similar to a
mean of 40.63 (SD 5 13.09) that has been reported
in a previous study using the EDS to assess a
nonED college sample.11
With regards to the
EDQOL, the ED group (M 5 0.77, SD 5 0.65) in our
study reported scores that are in between scores
previously reported by ED individuals with minor
symptom severity (M 5 0.53, SD 5 0.44) and mod-
erate severity symptoms (M 5 1.29, SD 5 0.54) and
the nonED group (M 5 0.35, SD 5 0.40) in our
study reported slightly lower scores than previously
reported scores in nonED individuals (M 5 0.42,
SD 5 0.34).20
The overall model examining the
impact of ED and exercise dependence (independ-
ent variables) on HRQOL (dependent variable) was
significant [F(3,374) 5 24.92, p < .001] and
explained 16.1% of the variance in HRQOL scores
(R2
5 0.097). ED severity (b 5 0.396, p 5 .001) as
well as higher exercise dependence scores (b 5
0.231, p 5 .001) both predicted more HRQOL detri-
ments (see Fig. 1). Additionally, the interaction
among ED and exercise dependence was signifi-
cant (b 5 0.187, p 5 .040) suggesting that the com-
bined effects of ED and exercise dependence
significantly impacts HRQOL. Thus, individuals
with ED and higher exercise dependence scores
may experience more HRQOL detriments as com-
pared with individuals without an ED and with low
exercise dependence scores.
Discussion
The purpose of our study was to examine the asso-
ciation among ED, exercise dependence, and
FIGURE 1. Association between exercise dependence and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) detriments of eating disorder and no eating dis-
order groups. Regression lines depict the association of exercise dependence and HRQOL detriments. Increased HRQOL scores indicate more detri-
ments. Exercise dependence is associated with HRQOL detriments for all groups, but this effect is more pronounced when exercise dependences
occurs with an eating disorder. The significant interaction effect of these regressions indicates that motives (i.e., exercise dependence) may detri-
mentally affect daily functioning/HRQOL, particularly for those who have an ED.

4. HRQOL. Consistent with our hypothesis, we found
that both ED and exercise dependence may impact
HRQOL and that ED and exercise dependence also
interact to further adversely impact HRQOL. These
results suggest that pathological motivations for
exercise may exacerbate the detrimental impact of
ED on HRQOL. Thus, our results offer insights into
why exercise behavior may be associated with dele-
terious effects on HRQOL in ED.25
Our finding of an interaction effect among ED
and exercise dependence on HRQOL is important
for at least three reasons. First, understanding of
the psychological aspects of exercise in ED is lim-
ited despite clinical reports and research suggest-
ing that compulsively exercising ED individuals
present more severe symptomatology6
and higher
persistence of ED behavior.5
Thus, the interaction
effect observed in our study indicates that motives
(i.e., exercise dependence) may detrimentally affect
daily functioning=HRQOL particularly for those
who have an ED. Our finding that exercise depend-
ence in the absence of ED is also associated with
HRQOL detriments suggests that pathological
motivations toward exercise, but not exercise
amount, may be of interest for further research.7
Second, our results support previous recommenda-
tions to also examine psychological aspects of exer-
cise as these may be markedly more influential
than examining only exercise amount or fre-
quency.7,8,26
Finally, the use of HRQOL as an out-
come variable, rather than the presence of ED or
ED symptom severity, further describes the scope
of impairment associated with exercise in ED.
Thus, our findings of an interaction between ED
and exercise dependence suggests that future
research examining the impact of psychological
aspects of exercise in ED may be fruitful.
Our study highlights several areas for future inves-
tigation; however, limitations were present. First, ED
was assessed through a self-report measure in a
sample of female college students that may not be
representative of all variants of ED, allow insights
regarding exercise dependence and the severity of
ED, provide a clinical diagnosis of ED, or allow
examinations of gender differences. Moreover, vali-
dation research has concluded that the sensitivity for
the EDDS indicates that some individuals with
bulimia nervosa may not have been identified.14
Second, our small sample size did not allow for com-
parisons between ED variants. This is important
because previous research has demonstrated a wide
range of compulsive exercise prevalence among ED
diagnoses.5
Finally, our cross-sectional design pre-
cludes causal inference into the relationships among
exercise dependence, ED, and HRQOL. Thus, our
results should be interpreted with caution.
Our study represents an initial attempt to explore
the relationships among exercise motives, ED
severity, and HRQOL. Our finding of an interaction
between ED severity and exercise dependence on
HRQOL detriment severity suggest that future
research is encouraged to continue to examine psy-
chological aspects of exercise (i.e., exercise
dependence; exercise compulsion; obligatory exer-
cise) in ED.8,11,12
Moreover, these data were col-
lected as part of a larger study that did not assess
other relevant ED-related variables (e.g., affect
comorbidities such as depression and anxiety), nor
did we address the effect of exercise dependence
on HRQOL in relation to previous or current ED
treatment. Future research is encouraged to exam-
ine the impact of exercise dependence on ED
severity, treatment, and possible differences among
ED diagnosis.27
Thus, our results indicate that
future research is needed to further elucidate the
relationship among psychological aspects of exer-
cise, ED, and HRQOL.
