Five cases of anorexia nervosa in males aged 13--23 years are described. Four patients presented to a general medical outpatient clinic with emaciation, and the fifth was diagnosed retrospectively. Sinus bradycardia was a useful pointer to the diagnosis, which was confirmed by the finding of characteristic psychopathological features of a relentless "pursuit of thinness", along with a fear of becoming obese.
本文描述了5例年龄在13至23岁之间的男性神经性厌食症患者。4例患者因消瘦就诊于普通内科门诊，第5例为回顾性诊断。窦性心动过缓是诊断的一个有用线索，“对消瘦的执着追求”以及对肥胖的恐惧等特征性精神病理学表现进一步证实了诊断。
