“…Most studies on therapy have been conducted in males with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) undergoing inpatient-residential treatment. A Swedish case register study (n ¼ 61) (Lindblad et al, 2006) for example found that the outcome of males with AN admitted for hospital treatment was better than for females which is in agreement with the findings of Strober et al (2006). Also, Deter et al (1998) reported a better psychosocial outcome in men with AN than in women, albeit two male cases died in this cohort.…”

“…The markedly higher prevalence of AN among females has encouraged speculation that causative influences may differ between genders. Qualitative observations suggest that, when compared with females, males with AN have more general atypical features such as psychosis or psychotic regression, personality disorder and sexual uncertainty (Ewan, Middleman, & Feldmann, 2014;Fichter & Daser, 1987); for these patients, Strober et al (2006) reported less concern about actual weight. Fichter and Daser (1987) observed that 80% of the males in their study grew up in families that regarded sex as a taboo subject.…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence risk for developing anorexia nervosa (AN) in a very wide sample of adolescents aged 15-19 years, obtaining a psychological profile of these at-risk subjects, as assessed by the Italian Offer Self-Image Questionnaire (OSIQ). Method: Data were extracted from ESPAD-Italia ® 2005 database (European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs). The study (17,866 adolescents, 15-19 years old; 47.8% males), also evaluated gender, age, weight, height and Eating Attitude Test-26 (EAT-26). The OSIQ psychometric qualities were evaluated. Multinomial analysis assessed self-image risk of AN association. Results: Adolescents at risk approached 1.4% (2.2% of girls and 0.5% of boys); 19-and 17-year-old females exhibited a higher prevalence. Overall adolescent risk included: impulse control, family relationships and psychopathology. Critical areas in the AN developing showed age and gender differences: body image for younger females, impulse control for the older, psychopathology for young males and sexual attitudes for the older represented the poorer adjustment dimensions. Discussion: Results support screening procedures and tailored school-based prevention.

“…For instance, it has been shown that men with binge eating disorder have shown greater occurrences of anxiety disorder symptoms than women (Tanofsky et al 1997). It has also been shown that anxiety in men is one of the most consistent predictors of disordered eating (McCabe & Vincent 2003, Strober et al 2006). …”

The present study investigated four (anger, depression, anxiety, impulsivity) potential risk factors for the development of eating disorders in 79 male college students. All participants completed the Setting Conditions for Anorexia Nervosa Scale (SCANS), to determine if they were at-risk for the development of an eating disorder. The hypothesis, that males who are at-risk for the development of an eating disorder would show a higher occurrence of the potential risk factors, was partially supported. Those who scored high on the Dissatisfaction subscale of the SCANS had high positive correlations with all four risk factors. The SCANS Perfectionism subscale showed no such relationships with any of the risk factoes.There has been some disparity in the numbers of males thought to have eating disorders (Andersen 1992). It has been generally thought that the males comprise approximately 10% of the total eating disordered population (Garfinkel et al. 1995), with most studies showing that males comprise anywhere between 5% and 15% of the eating disorder population when considering cases of anorexia and bulimia nervosa (Dominé et al. 2009). However, when cases such as binge eating disorder are considered, males comprise a much greater portion of that population, accounting for approximately 40% of cases (Dominé et al. 2009). It is likely that the male population makes up a greater portion of the entire disordered eating population than what has been shown in most research, but for various reasons males have typically been excluded from studies or underrepresented for reasons such as lack of self report.
