There is growing recognition that eating disorder (ED) symptoms, particularly those of a muscularity-oriented nature, are more common in men than previously understood. The purpose of the current review is to describe contemporary directions and implications of research on traditional and muscularity-oriented ED symptoms among males.
Evidence indicates that ED symptoms occur in a substantial minority of men. Importantly, recent research has focused on muscularity-oriented body image and disordered eating in males, demonstrating the prevalence, correlates, and consequences of maladaptive muscularity-oriented attitudes and behaviors. A growing number of assessments are available to measure these constructs in males, and preliminary treatment considerations have begun to be addressed in the literature. Research on male EDs and body image is increasingly focusing on muscularity-oriented manifestations. Continued empirical work will be critical to improve our understanding of the onset, maintenance, and treatment of muscularity-oriented disordered eating in males.
人们越来越认识到，饮食失调（ED）症状，尤其是那些以肌肉发达为导向的症状，在男性中比以前所认为的更为常见。本综述的目的是描述关于男性传统型和以肌肉发达为导向的饮食失调症状的当代研究方向及其影响。
有证据表明，饮食失调症状在相当一部分男性中出现。重要的是，最近的研究集中在男性以肌肉发达为导向的身体形象和饮食紊乱方面，揭示了适应不良的以肌肉发达为导向的态度和行为的患病率、相关因素及后果。现在有越来越多的评估方法可用于测量男性中的这些构念，并且文献中已经开始探讨初步的治疗考虑因素。关于男性饮食失调和身体形象的研究越来越关注以肌肉发达为导向的表现形式。持续的实证研究对于增进我们对男性以肌肉发达为导向的饮食紊乱的发病、维持及治疗的理解至关重要。
