“…The number of significant differences found in men was clearly lower, and three out of four of these were in the opposite direction to those found in women. On the one hand, this result fits with the gender differences repeatedly found in the literature [41][42][43][44][45] . On the other hand, this result could be explained arguing that, perhaps, in men the cause of substance consumption is more social and, therefore, of a less ED-associated symptomatology.…”

Eating attitudes and their relation with drug consumption in a university sample

Background and Objectives: Some relations between abnormal eating behaviours and attitudes, and other psychiatric disorders have been found in different populations. This study was carried out to examine the relations between eating attitudes and substance use among university students from Spain.Methods: The EAT and a substance use questionnaire were administered to a sample of 1,089 male and female university students in a cross-sectional design.Results: There were significant differences in drug consumption between students that met cut-off score criteria for the 40 and 26-item versions, and those that did not. Significant differences also emerged between extreme groups (25 vs. 75 percentile) in both EAT versions and in all subscales, especially in the Bulimia and Food Preoccupation subscale. A clearly distinct pattern of differences appeared in male and female students.Conclusions: Outcomes are in consonance with the theories proposed by several authors to explain the etiological relation between eating disorders and substance use.

“…Many of the subscale items deal with binge eating behaviors, and 15- to 17-year-old boys commonly consume large amounts of food (Eiben, 2007; Katzman, Wolchik, & Braver, 1984). Males are also less likely to label the consumption of large quantities of food a binge or to report feeling out of control during the food consumption (Carlat & Camargo, 1991; Franco, Tamburino, Carroll, & Bernal, 1988; Lewinsohn et al, 2002). However, results from our measurement invariance analyses provide some limited evidence that this is not the case, as we constrained item-level thresholds to be equal; we did the same for factor loadings.…”

The etiologic role of genetic and environmental factors on disordered eating was examined in a sample of 15- to 17-year-old female–female, male–male, and opposite-sex twin pairs. Also assessed was whether a single factor is underlying 3 facets (body dissatisfaction, drive for thinness, bulimia) of disordered eating, including the possible importance of sex differences. Univariate model-fitting analyses indicated that genetic factors are more important for girls and environment more important for boys for body dissatisfaction and drive for thinness. A multivariate common factor analysis indicated that a single factor accounted for the association among these 3 facets of disordered eating in both sexes. However, only 50% of the genetic risk for this factor is shared between the sexes.

“…It has been suggested that boys’ eating problems are undetected (Anderson & Bulik 2004). Boys are presumed to under‐report the problem because of the female stigma of ED (Franco et al. 1988) disordered eating is considered as specific to female gender (Anderson & Bulik 2004).…”
