“…Estrogens have been listed as one of the factors that influence eating attitudes espe cially in the pubertal girls [16][17][18], An alterna tive factor in males may possibly be testoster one [ 19,20], which was documented to have effects on eating behaviors. The changes in eating attitudes of boys [12,14] have not been examined as extensively as that of girls proba bly due to lower incidence of anorexia ner vosa in boys.…”

Concerns with eating were studied in 130 Japanese boys and 125 girls aged 6–18 years using the Simplified Eating Attitudes Test (s-EAT). The s-EAT scores in girls slightly increased with age. The mean scores in girls at age 10 years or older were significantly higher than in boys of the same age, suggesting that pubertal girls have more concerns with eating. On the other hand, s-EAT scores in boys that were not overweight decreased as they grew older, contributing, at least partly, to the sexual difference in eating behavior. The mean scores in overweight boys were higher than in boys that were not overweight. The score in boys correlated significantly with weight though there was no significant correlation in girls. These results suggest that, in addition to increased concerns with eating in girls, decreased concerns with age in boys is one of the causes of the sexual difference in eating behavior, especially during puberty. Eating behaviors in girls seem to be less influenced by changes in body weight than in boys.

“…Maturational conflict in association with sexual development has been postulated as one of the pathogeneses. Sex hormones, especially estrogens, have been reported to influence the onset of the disease (Young, 1975). However, in a small number of cases, the disorder is found in males Moreover, girls with impaired gonadal function were demonstrated to be anorectic in rare instances (Forssman et al, 1970;Halmi and Rigas, 1973;Dougherty et al, 1983;Ohzeki et al, 1989).…”

“…AN has also been associated with other neuropsychiatric disorders such as Tourette's syndrome (YayuraTobias, 1979;Larocca, 1984), schizophrenia (Mohl & McMahon, 1980;Hsu, Meltzer, & Crisp, 1981), post-traumatic stress disorder (Damlouji & Ferguson, 1985), and mental retardation (Hurley & Sovner, 1979;Cottrell & Crisp, 1984). A possible common neuroendocrine basis has also been suggested for AN and the Kleine-Levin syndrome (Young, 1975). Thus, our case agrees with the literature in that syndromic aspects of AN may appear when particular subcortical structures are either damaged or involved in disease processes.…”

Wilson's disease is a recessively inherited disorder of copper metabolism with prominent hepatic, hematopoetic, central nervous system (CNS), and ocular involvement. Psychiatric manifestations are notoriously variable. The following case history of a patient with both anorexia nervosa and Wilson's disease is presented and discussed in the context of organic CNS lesions associated with anorexia nervosa‐like syndromes. © 1993 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
