The Eating Attitude Test (EAT‐40) was administered in the Arabic language to 50 Arab female undergraduates attending London University. The test had a positive predictive value (PPV) of 55%. sensitivity and specificity of 100% and 89% respectively, and proved useful when used in a non‐Western culture.
