Eating disorders (ED) are a series of psychological disorders that lead to serious abnormalities in eating behaviour. People with ED find it difficult to feel or recognise body signals as they have an emotional blockage accompanied by obsessive thoughts about weight, food and body. Objective. To describe in a group of women with an ED the variables body awareness and dissociation, conscious attitude, non-judgement, cognitive restriction, anxious/depressive symptomatology and eating styles, to relate these variables to each other and finally to analyse if there are differences with a general population group. Method. Descriptive study of a transversal nature. An incidental sampling was carried out and 31 women diagnosed with ED with a mean age of 30,32 (SD=11,19) and 66 women from the general population participated, with sociodemographic characteristics equivalent to those of the patient group, where the mean age was 28,97 (SD=9,75). DASS-21, FFMQ-E, TFEQ-R18, DEBQ, SBC and an ad hoc socio-demographic questionnaire were used for evaluation. Results. There are significant differences between the ED group and the general population group in the variables uncontrolled eating (p=,003), restrictive diet (p=,001), emotional eating
(p=,001) and external eating (p=,001). Conclusions. The results suggest the relevance of including interventions focused on mindful eating in these patients.
