Bariatric surgery is an increasingly popular treatment for severe obesity. However, while rates of obesity are comparable across genders, women are much more likely to undergo bariatric surgery. Little research exists on gender differences among bariatric surgery candidates. This study examined gender differences and their correlates within a sample of 487 patients presenting for bariatric surgery. Results indicated that women were more depressed than men, dieted more, and were more likely to report that their weight interfered with feeling good about themselves. There were no differences in BED rates or binge eating. Furthermore, among women, both depression and self-esteem were associated with binge eating symptomatology. However, among men, only depression contributed to binge eating scores. These findings provide evidence for the significance of binge eating and depression among both male and female bariatric surgery candidates.
减肥手术是一种越来越受欢迎的重度肥胖治疗方法。然而，尽管肥胖率在不同性别间相当，但女性接受减肥手术的可能性要大得多。关于减肥手术候选者的性别差异，现有研究甚少。本研究在487名接受减肥手术的患者样本中，考察了性别差异及其相关因素。结果表明，女性比男性更抑郁，节食更多，且更有可能报告体重影响了她们自我感觉良好。在暴饮暴食障碍发生率或暴饮暴食方面没有差异。此外，在女性中，抑郁和自尊都与暴饮暴食症状有关。然而，在男性中，只有抑郁导致了暴饮暴食得分。这些发现为减肥手术候选者中男性和女性暴饮暴食及抑郁的重要性提供了证据。
