Men have eating disorders too: an analysis of online narratives posted by men with eating disorders on YouTube

Self-representations of the experience of anorexia on YouTube: The joint influence of the explanatory model and the web platform

“…In addition, as in previous studies (LaMarre and Rice, 2016; Pereira et al, 2016), it was observed that although some male vloggers and other relative minority populations share personal experiences of eating disorders on YouTube (Malova and Dunleavy, 2021) and other social media (Quiniones and Oster 2019), the most viewed videos in Russian about anorexia experiences were filmed by young White women. This could be connected with Russian gender ideology and feminized images of eating disorders.…”

Barriers and facilitators affecting treatment uptake behaviours for patients with eating disorders: A systematic review synthesising patient, caregiver and clinician perspectives

“…Similarly, while the studies included in the current review represented patients of various ages and ethnic backgrounds, the majority of studies were nevertheless completed with female patients. Studies have shown that ED continue to be viewed as a ‘female disorder’, resulting in a significant stigma both among male patients with ED and the healthcare professionals treating them (Dearden & Mulgrew, 2013; Malova & Dunleavy, 2021; Thapliyal et al., 2020). More studies are therefore needed to understand the needs of male patients with ED, in particular the barriers which may be preventing these patients from engaging with treatment services.…”

“…Disagreements were settled by a third, independent rater. In total, 73 studies were deemed eligible to be included in the current review (Ali et al., 2020; Andersen et al., 2021; Becker et al., 2003; Becker et al., 2010; Bye et al., 2018; Byrom et al., 2022; Cachelin & Striegel‐Moore, 2006; Cachelin et al., 2001; Cavazos‐Rehg et al., 2020; Chowbey et al., 2012; Ciao et al., 2020; Coelho et al., 2021; Couturier et al., 2013; Dayal et al., 2015; Dearden & Mulgrew, 2013; Del Valle et al., 2017; Elran‐Barak et al., 2018; Escobar‐Koch et al., 2010; Evans et al., 2011; Fitzsimmons‐Craft, Balantekin, et al., 2020; Fitzsimmons‐Craft, Eichen, et al., 2020; Fitzsimmons‐Craft, Krauss, et al., 2020; Forrest et al., 2017; Goodwin & Fitzgibbon, 2002; Gorse et al., 2013; Grammer et al., 2022; Griffiths et al., 2015; Griffiths et al., 2018; Grillot & Keel, 2018; Gulliksen et al., 2015; Hamilton et al., 2022; Hartman‐Munick et al., 2021; Hepworth & Paxton, 2007; Herman et al., 2014; Javier & Belgrave, 2019; Kanakam, 2021; Kästner et al., 2021; Lazare et al., 2021; Leavey et al., 2011; Lebow et al., 2021; Linardon, Shatte, et al., 2020; Linardon, Rosato, et al., 2020; Linardon et al., 2021; Lipson et al., 2017; Liu et al., 2022; Ma et al., 2021; Maier et al., 2014; Malova & Dunleavy, 2021; Martin‐Wagar et al., 2021; McClay et al., 2016; Meyer, 2001; Moessner et al., 2016; Mond et al., 2009; Neyland & Bard...…”

Analysis of symptom clusters amongst adults with anorexia nervosa: Key severity indicators

“…It has been suggested that starvation may at least partly serve as a strategy to regulate unwanted emotions and feelings ( Haynos and Fruzzetti, 2011 ). Starvation numbs both physiological and emotional responses thus provides escape or a safe place, but it also potentially makes it more difficult to describe or identify own internal states ( Malova and Dunleavy, 2022 ; Lavis, 2018 ; Oldershaw et al., 2015 ; Rowsell et al., 2016 ). Therefore, the lower symptoms reported in this cluster might in fact be a warning sign of emotional avoidance.…”
