Males with eating disorders are underdiagnosed and undertreated, which may be a result of inadequate guidance and training to assess and treat eating disorders for medical professionals. This may be particularly problematic for adolescent males given the focus of eating disorders research and treatment on adolescent females. Furthermore, there is a paucity of research to guide screening, medical treatment, and training of health professions in adolescent males with eating disorders. The development of eating disorders education and training for medical professionals are included in the 21st Century Cures Act, which further emphasizes the opportunity to develop treatment guidelines individualized to male patients. This last word calls for the development of specific medical treatment guidelines for adolescent males with eating disorders.
男性进食障碍的诊断和治疗不足，这可能是由于医疗专业人员评估和治疗进食障碍的指导和培训不足所致。对于青少年男性来说，这可能是一个特别成问题的问题，因为进食障碍的研究和治疗重点是青少年女性。此外，几乎没有研究可以指导有进食障碍的青少年男性进行筛查、医疗和培训。在 21 世纪治愈法案中包含了为医疗专业人员制定进食障碍教育和培训的内容，这进一步强调了为男性患者制定个体化治疗指南的机会。最后这一点呼吁制定针对有进食障碍的青少年男性的具体医疗治疗指南。
