摘要
Research in the field of eating disorders has focused on females, and less is known about the symptom presentation and treatment outcomes in males and gender minority youths. This prospective study set out to assess gender differences in eating pathology and treatment outcomes. Muscularity concerns may be particularly relevant for male youths with eating disorders, yet there is limited research on gender differences in muscularity concerns in treatment-seeking youths with eating disorders. Participants include cisgender male youths, matched cisgender females, and gender diverse youths who did not identify with the sex assigned to them at birth. Youths completed measures of eating disorder symptoms, including muscularity concerns, and other psychiatric symptoms at baseline and end of treatment. Some gender differences in eating pathology appeared at baseline, with trans youths reporting higher levels of eating pathology than cisgender youths. There were no differences between cisgender males and females in eating disorder symptom presentation at baseline, and contrary to expectations, there were no gender differences in measures of muscularity concerns. However, males demonstrated greater eating disorder symptom improvements than females.
