The major goal of this study was to identify problematic eating behaviors and attitudes in young men and compare them with those of young women.
A community sample of young adults (n = 1,056) completed a questionnaire that contained the Drive for Thinness, Bulimia, and Body Dissatisfaction subscales of the Eating Disorder Inventory, as well as probes for inappropriate compensatory behaviors, excessive exercise, and episodes of binge eating.
A five-factor structure fit both male and female samples. Women had substantially elevated scores on all of the factors except excessive exercise, for which men had significantly higher scores. The absolute proportion of men and women wanting or having sought treatment was very low. However, at comparable levels of problematic eating behaviors, women were more likely to have sought treatment than men.
The questionnaire used in this study encompasses symptoms outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders symptoms, which should prove useful in future research.
本研究的主要目标是识别年轻男性中存在问题的饮食行为和态度，并将其与年轻女性的情况进行比较。
一个由年轻成年人组成的社区样本（n = 1056）完成了一份问卷，该问卷包含饮食失调量表中的追求瘦身、暴食和身体不满分量表，以及关于不适当代偿行为、过度运动和暴饮暴食发作的调查项目。
一个五因素结构适用于男性和女性样本。除了过度运动这一因素男性得分显著更高外，女性在所有因素上的得分都大幅升高。想要或寻求治疗的男性和女性的绝对比例非常低。然而，在饮食行为问题程度相当的情况下，女性比男性更有可能寻求过治疗。
本研究中使用的问卷涵盖了《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》中概述的症状，这在未来的研究中应会被证明是有用的。
