The objective of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI; Garner et al. , 1983). Three groups participated in the current study: 274 female and 67 male non‐patients, and 83 females with a diagnosis of eating disorder. Results clearly support the reliability and the factor structure of the EDI in a Portuguese sample. In addition non‐patient and eating disordered participants' score significantly differently in all EDI scales, emphasizing the clinical usefulness of the measure.
