“…Al comparar la prevalencia total de ECA positiva en la presente investigación con prevalencias a nivel internacional en poblaciones similares, esta es notoriamente mayor (3,(21)(22)(23). Sin embargo, se debe tener en cuenta que encuestas como la Eating Attitudes Test (EAT40) y Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI), que han sido las más utilizadas a nivel mundial, han mostrado sensibilidad, especifi cidad y valor predictivo positivo más bajos, en especial para el diagnóstico de TCA-NE (24), que es el más frecuente (6).…”
