Abstract

We evaluated the relations between BPD-related features, psychosocial maturity, physical self-image, and sleep and eating disturbances in adolescents using the NICHD SECCYD dataset. This study contributes to the literature by showing that psychosocial maturity and physical self-image are mechanisms explaining why BPD-related features relate to these health conditions.
