The literature on anorexia nervosa and bulimia in male patients was reviewed with the intention of (a) identifying differences that may exist between male and female sufferers, and (b) isolating, through a study of etiological factors in the low-risk (male) group, those factors that may be specific in the etiology of these disorders in both sexes. Current knowledge suggests that fundamental male-female differences do not exist as far as the etiology or symptomatology of these disorders is concerned. Given such similarities, the lower incidence among males suggests biological, social and intrapsychic determinants, that can be conceived to be more active in female versus male populations.
对有关男性神经性厌食症和贪食症的文献进行了综述，目的是：（a）确定男性和女性患者之间可能存在的差异；（b）通过对低风险（男性）群体的病因因素进行研究，找出在这两种疾病的病因中可能具有性别特异性的因素。目前的知识表明，就这些疾病的病因或症状而言，不存在根本性的男女差异。鉴于存在这些相似之处，男性中较低的发病率表明生物、社会和心理内部因素在女性群体中比在男性群体中可能更具活性。
