Disordered eating in adolescent males is linked to body dissatisfaction and depression, not necessarily overweight. These findings mirror those in females, suggesting similar patterns across genders.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Adolescent Health
  • Eating Disorders

Background:

  • Disordered eating is prevalent in adolescent females, but less understood in males.
  • Research is needed to determine if similar risk factors and patterns exist in adolescent males.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize adolescent males with disordered eating.
  • To investigate the relationship between disordered eating and weight status in adolescent males.
  • To examine if female disordered eating patterns are replicated in males.

Main Methods:

  • Study included three groups of adolescents: males with disordered eating, physically matched controls, and randomly selected controls.
  • Data collected on body dissatisfaction, depression, restraint, interoceptive awareness, and body mass index.

Main Results:

  • Adolescent males with disordered eating reported higher body dissatisfaction, depression, restraint, and poorer interoceptive awareness than controls.
  • Negative Emotionality and poor Interoceptive Awareness were strongly associated with eating pathology.
  • Body Mass Index and Negative Emotionality correlated with restrained eating.

Conclusions:

  • Findings in adolescent males with disordered eating replicate previous results from female samples.
  • Disordered eating in adolescent males can occur independently of significant weight issues.
  • Results suggest that disordered eating patterns observed in females may be generalizable to males.
