AB  - Introduction: The Binge Eating Scale (BES) is a widely used self-report 
      questionnaire to identify compulsive eaters. However, research on the dimensions 
      and psychometric properties of the BES is limited. Objective: The aim of this 
      study was to examine the properties of the Spanish version of the BES. Methods: 
      Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFAs) were carried out to verify the BES factor 
      structure in a sample of Spanish college students (N = 428, 75.7% women; age 
      range = 18-30). An invariance measurement routine was carried out across sexes, 
      the latent means were compared, and estimates of reliability and convergent and 
      discriminant validity were presented. Results: A one-factor model fit the data 
      best and was also equivalent between sexes. The scalar invariance model showed 
      statistically significant differences across sexes, with a higher prevalence in 
      women. Regarding reliability, the results were excellent. Finally, high 
      statistically significant correlations were obtained with other measures of binge 
      eating (BE), food addiction, impulsivity, binge drinking, and body mass index 
      (BMI). Conclusion: The Spanish 16-item BES is a valid and reliable scale to 
      evaluate BE in the youth population.
