This study was designed to assess the characteristics of men with eating disorders in the community.
The authors recruited 25 men meeting DSM-IV criteria for eating disorders and 25 comparison men through advertisements in college newspapers. A second comparison group comprised 33 women with bulimia nervosa who were recruited and interviewed with virtually identical methods.
The men with eating disorders closely resembled the women with eating disorders but differed sharply from the comparison men in phenomenology of illness, rates of comorbid psychiatric disorders, and dissatisfaction with body image. Homosexuality did not appear to be a common feature of men with eating disorders in the community. Childhood physical and sexual abuse appeared slightly more common among the eating-disordered men than among the comparison men.
Eating disorders, although less common in men than in women, appear to display strikingly similar features in affected individuals of the two genders.
本研究旨在评估社区中患有饮食失调症男性的特征。
作者通过在大学报纸上刊登广告，招募了25名符合《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版（DSM-IV）饮食失调标准的男性以及25名对照男性。第二个对照组由33名神经性贪食症女性组成，她们采用几乎相同的方法进行招募和访谈。
患有饮食失调症的男性与患有饮食失调症的女性非常相似，但在疾病表现、共病精神障碍发生率以及对身体形象的不满方面与对照男性有显著差异。在社区中，同性恋似乎并非患有饮食失调症男性的常见特征。童年期身体虐待和性虐待在患有饮食失调症的男性中似乎比对照男性略为常见。
饮食失调症在男性中虽不如在女性中常见，但在两个性别的受影响个体中似乎表现出惊人的相似特征。
