Muscle dysmorphia is a male-dominated, body image-related psychological condition. Despite continued investigation, contention surrounds the nosological status of this disorder. The aim of this article was to review the literature on muscle dysmorphia to provide a qualitative account of methodological issues that may inhibit our understanding. Key areas relating to non-standardized participant groups, measuring instruments, and terminology were identified as potentially inhibiting symptom coherence and diagnostic reliability. New measuring instruments validated with clinical samples and carefully described participant groups, standardized terminology, and a greater emphasis on prospective longitudinal research with specific sub groups of the weight training community would be of interest to the field.
肌肉变形症是一种以男性为主导、与身体形象相关的心理状况。尽管有持续的研究，但这种障碍的分类地位仍存在争议。本文的目的是回顾肌肉变形症的文献，提供一个定性的解释，说明可能影响我们理解的方法学问题。与非标准化的参与者群体、测量工具和术语相关的关键领域被认为可能会抑制症状的一致性和诊断的可靠性。新的测量工具需要用临床样本进行验证，并对参与者群体进行仔细描述，使用标准化的术语，并更加重视针对特定的举重训练群体的前瞻性纵向研究，这将是该领域感兴趣的方向。
