The above scatterplot depicts the correlation between Age (Years) and EAT-10: Total.
Individual points represent individual cases. The blue trendline represents the general trend of
correlation between the two variables. The shaded grey area represents the 95% confidence
interval of this trendline.
Non-parametric tests (Spearman Correlation) were used to explore the correlation between the
two variables, as at least one of the variables was not normally distributed.
There was a weak positive correlation between Age (Years) and EAT-10: Total, and this
correlation was not statistically significant (rho = 0.22, p = 0.118).

Post-Hoc pairwise tests for Kruskal-Wallis test performed using Dunn Test method with Sidak correction.
The variable EAT-10: Total was not normally distributed in the 5 subgroups of the variable
Age. Thus, non-parametric tests (Kruskal Wallis Test) were used to make group comparisons.
The mean (SD) of EAT-10: Total in the Age: 21-30 Years group was 9.89 (5.33). The mean
(SD) of EAT-10: Total in the Age: 31-40 Years group was 8.78 (5.26). The mean (SD) of
EAT-10: Total in the Age: 41-50 Years group was 12.91 (6.70). The mean (SD) of EAT-10:
Total in the Age: 51-60 Years group was 13.82 (4.81). The mean (SD) of EAT-10: Total in
the Age: 61-70 Years group was 3.00 (NA). The median (IQR) of EAT-10: Total in the Age:
21-30 Years group was 10 (8-13). The median (IQR) of EAT-10: Total in the Age: 31-40
Years group was 9 (5.25-11). The median (IQR) of EAT-10: Total in the Age: 41-50 Years
group was 14 (8.5-17.5). The median (IQR) of EAT-10: Total in the Age: 51-60 Years group
was 14 (11.5-17.5). The median (IQR) of EAT-10: Total in the Age: 61-70 Years group was 3
(3-3). The EAT-10: Total in the Age: 21-30 Years ranged from 2 - 18. The EAT-10: Total in
the Age: 31-40 Years ranged from 1 - 22. The EAT-10: Total in the Age: 41-50 Years ranged
from 1 - 21. The EAT-10: Total in the Age: 51-60 Years ranged from 6 - 20. The EAT-10:
Total in the Age: 61-70 Years ranged from 3 - 3.
There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of EAT-10: Total (χ2 =
8.841, p = 0.065).
The Box-and-Whisker plot below depicts the distribution of EAT-10: Total in the 5 groups.
The middle horizontal line represents the median EAT-10: Total, the upper and lower bounds
of the box represent the 75th and the 25th centile of EAT-10: Total respectively, and the
upper and lower extent of the whiskers represent the Tukey limits for EAT-10: Total in each

The variable EAT-10: Total was normally distributed in the 2 subgroups of the variable
Gender. Thus, parametric tests (t-test) were used to make group comparisons.
The mean (SD) of EAT-10: Total in the Gender: Male group was 10.00 (4.74). The mean
(SD) of EAT-10: Total in the Gender: Female group was 11.63 (6.63). The median (IQR) of

EAT-10: Question 1. Thus, non-parametric tests (Kruskal Wallis Test) were used to make
group comparisons.
The mean (SD) of EAT-10: Total in the EAT-10: Question 1: Score 0 group was 9.66 (5.41).
The mean (SD) of EAT-10: Total in the EAT-10: Question 1: Score 2 group was 19.00 (NA).
The median (IQR) of EAT-10: Total in the EAT-10: Question 1: Score 0 group was 9 (6-14).
The median (IQR) of EAT-10: Total in the EAT-10: Question 1: Score 1 group was 15.5
(12.75-20.25). The median (IQR) of EAT-10: Total in the EAT-10: Question 1: Score 2 group
was 19 (19-19). The EAT-10: Total in the EAT-10: Question 1: Score 0 ranged from 1 - 21.
