“…Food intake is controlled through highly complex processes; modifications of this system during the ageing process result in the anorexia of ageing (Horwitz et al 2002;Landi et al 2016), as we observed in the relative food intake in the MOF 1 . Complex mechanisms are involved in the age-related deterioration of food intake such as the decline in saliva secretion, as well as the decrease of the sense of smell and taste, changes in gastrointestinal function, chronic low-grade inflammation and alterations in circulating hormones (Landi et al 2016;Kummer et al 2019).…”

Key points Maternal obesity predisposes to metabolic dysfunction in male and female offspring Maternal high‐fat diet consumption prior to and throughout pregnancy and lactation accelerates offspring metabolic ageing in a sex‐dependent manner This study provides evidence for programming‐ageing interactions Abstract Human epidemiological studies show that maternal obesity (MO) shortens offspring life and health span. Life course cellular mechanisms involved in this developmental programming‐ageing interaction are poorly understood. In a well‐established rat MO model, female Wistar rats ate chow (controls (C)) or high energy, obesogenic diet to induce MO from weaning through pregnancy and lactation. Females were bred at postnatal day (PND) 120. Offspring (F1) of mothers on control diet (CF1) and MO diet (MOF1) delivered spontaneously at terms. Both CF1 and MOF1 ate C diet from weaning throughout the study. Offspring were killed at PND 36, 110, 450 and 650. We determined body and liver weights, liver and serum metabolite concentrations, hormones and oxidative stress biomarkers. Male and female CF1 body weight, total fat, adiposity index, serum leptin, insulin, insulin resistance, and liver weight, fat, triglycerides, malondialdehyde, reactive oxygen species and nitrotyrosine all rose with differing ageing trajectories. Female CF1 triglycerides were unchanged with age. Age‐related increases were greater in MOF1 than CF1 in both sexes for all variables except glucose in males and females and cholesterol in males. Cholesterol fell in CF1 females but not MOF1. Serum corticosterone levels were higher in male and female MOF1 than CF1 and declined with age. DHEA serum levels were lower in male and female MOF1 than CF1. Liver antioxidant enzymes decreased with age (CF1 and MOF1). Conclusions: exposure to the developmental challenge of MO accelerates progeny ageing metabolic and endocrine profiles in a sex specific manner, providing evidence for programming‐ageing interactions.

“…Therefore, it is important to state that our findings are indicative of disordered eating. However, our questions were based on standardized instruments (e.g., the EDE-Q and the DSM-5 clinical criteria for eating disorders) which are commonly used in research on eating behavior [ 28 ] and in our prior studies in men [ 40 ].…”

Purpose To assess eating behavior and associated factors in male fitness-center attendees. Methods An anonymous questionnaire was administered to male fitness center members of Innsbruck (Austria), aged 18–80 years to assess socio-demographic features, weight history, sports activity, eating behavior including disordered eating based on the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) and DSM-5 key symptoms for eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, binge eating, bulimia nervosa, purging disorder) and body image. Three age groups (younger—middle-aged—older men) were compared regarding the variables described above. Results A total of 307 men included displayed high rates of disordered eating as described by EDE-Q cutoff scores (5–11%) as well as by DSM-5 eating disorder symptoms (10%). While EDE-Q cutoff scores did not differentiate between the groups, the prevalences of DSM-5 eating disorder symptoms yielded significant differences indicating a clear decrease with increasing age. Binge eating and bulimic symptoms with excessive exercising as the purging method were the most often reported symptoms. Conclusion Although described as typically female, disordered eating does occur in male fitness-gym attendees across all ages. The older the men, the less prevalent are the symptoms. Awareness of disordered eating and possible negative effects need to be addressed for attendees and trainers of the gym. Level of evidence V—descriptive survey study.

“…We found in our community sample of Austrian men, that individuals scoring high on the Aging Males’ Symptoms (AMS) scale showed higher prevalence rates of eating disturbances than low-scoring men [ 54 ]. The AMS scale is a tool to assess symptoms of aging [ 55 ], and high scores on the AMS scale have been shown to be indicative of a possible testosterone deficiency [ 56 ].…”

Purpose of review We reviewed the recent literature on the epidemiology and treatment of eating disorders among middle-aged and older women and men. Recent findings Recent studies show that among older female persons, the prevalence rates with full diagnoses of eating disorders based on DSM-IV or DSM-5 criteria are between 2.1 and 7.7%, and among older men less than 1%. These studies show that the prevalence of eating disorders decreases by age in women, but it does not get towards zero even in very high age. Middle age, with a peak around 50, is also a critical time for the occurrence of eating disorders in men. Women who reported severe menopausal symptoms showed more eating disorder pathology compared with those with low symptoms during menopausal transition. Summary Eating disorders do occur in middle and older age of both sexes. Shame and stigmatization have decreased, and medical awareness and explicit assessment of eating behavior in all age groups have developed. What puberty is for eating disorders in adolescence and young age is menopausal transition for midlife women. Also in men, associations with hormonal disturbances are possible. Treatment approaches should consider treatment strategies tailored to older women and men, addressing the context of midlife and aging.
