Etiological models of the development of eating disorders among midlife and aging men are lacking. The present study provides a review and integration of existing theoretical frameworks and empirical data relevant to the examination of eating pathology in this population and introduces an integrated model of risk and protective factors for the development of eating disorder symptoms. Several etiological models of eating pathology that have gained some empirical support, or present relevance to this population, are briefly reviewed including sociocultural theory, objectification theory, social identity theory, positive body image and the developmental theory of embodiment, and existential and terror management theory, and finally biologically based theories. In addition, these frameworks were extended to account for developmental and gender-specific factors that may influence the development of eating disorders. An integrated model of risk and protective factors that brings together critical elements of these extended theoretical frameworks is presented, with the goal of guiding and stimulating research in this neglected group.
中年和老年男性饮食失调发展的病因模型尚缺乏。本研究对与该人群饮食病理学检查相关的现有理论框架和实证数据进行了综述和整合，并提出了一个用于饮食障碍症状发展的风险和保护因素综合模型。简要回顾了一些已获得一些实证支持或与该人群相关的饮食病理学病因模型，包括社会文化理论、客体化理论、社会认同理论、积极的身体意象和体现的发展理论、存在主义和恐怖管理理论，最后是基于生物学的理论。此外，还扩展了这些框架，以解释可能影响饮食障碍发展的发展和性别特定因素。提出了一个风险和保护因素的综合模型，将这些扩展的理论框架的关键要素结合在一起，旨在指导和激发对这个被忽视群体的研究。
