Declaration
:
: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
: This study attained Institutional Review Board approval and complied with all ethical guidelines by the Iran University of Medical Sciences.
: All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards.
: Informed consent was obtained from all individual participant included in the study.
: Few measures of generic (non-ED specific) quality of life measures have been officially validated in Iran to this end. The Farsi translation and validation of the CIA in the current study enable researchers and clinicians in Iran to assess clinical impairment secondary to EDs.
: The F-CIA was supported in the original 3-factor structure with 16 items among adolescents. Additionally, F-CIA was invariant across gender and <i>z</i>BMI status, suggesting that the scale would be compared across those groups. Furthermore, concurrent and discriminant validity, as well as internal consistency reliability of the F-CIA were supported.
