What impact do partial syndromes of eating disorder in adolescence have on health and social adjustment in young adulthood?
2032 students selected using a two-stage cluster sample and followed up regularly into young adulthood. In the first wave, one class from each of 44 schools was selected at random. A second class was randomly selected 6 months later (wave 2). The average age of participants at the start of study was 14.5 years. Follow-up was at subsequent 6-month intervals during the remaining school years (waves 3–6) and at two stages in young adulthood (wave 7, aged 20–21 years; wave 8, aged 24–25 years).
