“…The few previous studies available on bulimia in males have suggested that the disorder is very similar among males and females [36, 37], but no studies on impulsivity have included men. More information is therefore needed about eating disorders and impulsivity in men.…”

Background: In clinical samples, bulimia seems to be associated with various dyscontrol behaviours suggesting weakness in impulse control. Population studies of adolescents, however, are needed. We evaluated the association between self-reported bulimic behaviour and a number of dyscontrol behaviours, namely bullying, truancy, excessive drinking and sexual disinhibition among adolescents aged 14–16. This is the first study on bulimia and impulsivity in a large non-selected adolescent population sample. Methods: A self-report questionnaire was administered to a representative population sample of 14- to 16-year-old adolescents (pupils of the 8th and the 9th grades of secondary school in four different regions in Finland). 4,453 girls and 4,334 boys aged 14–16 participated. The participation rate was 85.5%. Results: Bulimic behaviour was associated with bullying, truancy, excessive drinking and sexual disinhibition among both sexes. Odds ratios for bulimic-type eating pathology according to each of these behaviours varied between 1.7 and 4.1. The more dyscontrol behaviours occurred simultaneously, the more likely was bulimic-type eating pathology. Conclusions: There is an association between bulimic behaviour and dyscontrol behaviours in the general population of adolescent girls and boys.

“…There continues to be health disparities among LGBT persons, and LGBT elders specifically. Although a major goal that was highlighted in the Department of Health and Human Services’ Healthy People 2010 was the elimination of health disparities of LGBT individuals, research has suggested that LGBT persons are disproportionately at risk for violent hate crimes, sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS, a variety of mental health conditions (Cochran, 2001; Cochran & Mays, 2000, 2009; Fergusson, Horwood, & Beautrais, 1999; Herek, 2009; Institute of Medicine, 2011; Koh & Ross, 2006), body weight problems (Carlat, Camargo, & Herzog, 1997; Carpenter, 2003; Deputy & Boehmer, 2010), substance use and abuse (Cochran & Mays, 2006; Skinner & Otis, 1996; Stall & Wiley, 1988), smoking (DuRant, Krowchuk, & Sinal, 1998; Stall et al, 1999; Tang et al, 2004), and certain cancers (Cochran et al, 2001; Daling et al, 1987; Dibble, Vanoni, & Miaskowski, 1997; Koblin et al, 1996; Zaritsky & Dibble, 2010). These same health risks were reported by members of the focus groups.…”

Extensive research on the specific needs and concerns of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) older adults is lacking. This article describes the results of both quantitative studies (i.e., LGBT Elders Needs Assessment Scale) and qualitative studies (i.e., focus groups and in-depth interviews with lesbian, gay, or bisexual [LGB] older adults and LGB grandparents) that specifically sought to investigate the unique needs and concerns of LGBT elders. The results identified 7 areas (medical/health care, legal, institutional/housing, spiritual, family, mental health, and social) of concern and the recognition that the needs and concerns of LGBT older adults be addressed across multiple domains, rather than in isolation.

“…Most of the available information on body image in men comes from studies of men with eating disorders [1, 2, 3, 4]. Studies in both Europe and America have consistently showed marked dissatisfaction with body image in men with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa or binge eating disorders compared to control men [5, 6].…”

Background: To compare male bodybuilders to men with eating disorders and control men regarding body image, psychopathology and sexual history. Method: We compared 28 male bodybuilders, 30 men with eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia or binge eating disorder defined by DSM-IV), and 30 controls, using a battery of questionnaires covering weight history, eating behavior, body image, lifetime history of psychiatric disorders, and sexuality. Eating-disordered and control men were recruited from a college student population and studied during the course of an earlier investigation. Results: Bodybuilders exhibited a pattern of eating and exercising as obsessive as that of subjects with eating disorders, but with a ‘reverse’ focus of gaining muscle as opposed to losing fat. Bodybuilders displayed rates of psychiatric disorders intermediate between men with eating disorders and control men. In measures of body image, the bodybuilders closely resembled the men with eating disorders, but significantly differed from the control men, with the former two groups consistently displaying greater dissatisfaction than the latter. Sexual functioning did not distinguish the three groups except for the item ‘lack of sexual desire’ which was reported significantly more often by both bodybuilders and men with eating disorders. Conclusion: On measures of body image and eating behavior, bodybuilders share many features of individuals with eating disorders.
