Similarly, GDF15 was not significantly correlated with psychological distress (SCL90 GSI: rho = −0.121, p‐value = 0.183), depressive symptoms (BDI rho = −0.018, p‐value = 0.848), overall eating psychopathology (EDE Total Score: rho = −0.052, p‐value = 0.545), nor compensatory behaviours (vomiting: rho = −0.038, p‐value = 0.670; laxative use: rho = −0.030, p‐value = 0.741; physical exercise: rho = −0.123, p‐value = 0.181). This evidence concerns the gene GDF15 and Abnormal emotional state.
