The Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI, for its acronym in English) was developed more than 35 years ago and remains today one of the most widely used standardized self-report measures, to evaluate symptoms and psychological traits associated with eating disorders (ED), both in clinical as in research. The widespread dissemination of this inventory is evidenced in the continuous adaptations and validations of its different versions (EDI, EDI-2, EDI-3) in many countries. Currently, there are versions in Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, French, Japanese and Hebrew, among others. The aim of this study was to present the psychometric properties of the different versions of this inventory in the Hispano-American population, specifically, in Argentina, Chile, Spain, Mexico, Peru and Latin population of the United States. It can be concluded that the EDI is an economic instrument, with sufficient evidence of validity and good levels of reliability to evaluate common cognitive and behavioral aspects in people with ED in Spanish-speaking people.
