*3.4. Association between Age of Onset of ED and Age of Maximum BMI*

The age of the maximum BMI and age of onset of the ED are shown in Table 4, and a scatterplot of these data is shown in Figure 2. Most patients in the BMI profile of NW-OB and OB-OB registered the maximum BMI after the onset of the ED. Among OB-NW patients, 35.2% registered maximum-ever BMI prior to the onset of ED, 27.2% coinciding with the onset of ED, and 37.6% after the onset of ED. Among NW-NW patients, 24.6% registered maximum-ever BMI prior to the onset of the ED, 22.9% coinciding with the onset of ED, and 52.5% after the onset of ED.

*3.5. Comparison of the CBT Outcomes between the BMI Profiles*

Table 5 shows the distribution of the CBT outcomes between the groups (see also Figure 3). The OB-OB BMI profile registered the highest prevalence of dropouts and the lowest of non-remission. The NW-NW BMI profile presented the highest prevalence of non-remission. OB-NW and NW-OB groups achieved the highest prevalence of partial- or full-remission.
