“…Individuals identified with pAN were younger, and individuals at low risk for an ED had a significantly lower mean BMI than individuals in the high‐risk and ED groups (whose mean BMIs were in the overweight range). This aligns with other research suggesting elevated weight status may increase risk of EDs (e.g., Duncan, Ziobrowski, & Nicol, ). Race and ethnicity did not differ across ED risk status groups, but racial/ethnic minority individuals with EDs are significantly less likely than their White counterparts to be diagnosed with an ED, receive care or a referral for evaluation, or be asked by a doctor about ED symptoms (Becker, Franko, Speck, & Herzog, ; Cachelin & Striegel‐Moore, ; Marques et al, ).…”

Objective The Internet‐based Healthy Body Image (HBI) Program, which uses online screening to identify individuals at low risk of, high risk of, or with an eating disorder (ED) and then directs users to tailored, evidence‐based online or in‐person interventions to address individuals' risk or clinical status, was deployed at 28 U.S. universities as part of a randomized controlled trial. The purpose of this study is to report on: (a) reach of HBI, (b) screen results, and (c) differences across ED status groups. Method All students on participating campuses ages 18 years or older were eligible, although recruitment primarily targeted undergraduate females. Results The screen was completed 4,894 times, with an average of 1.9% of the undergraduate female student body on each campus taking the screen. ED risk in participating students was high—nearly 60% of students screened were identified as being at high risk for ED onset or having an ED. Key differences emerged across ED status groups on demographics, recruitment method, ED pathology, psychiatric comorbidity, and ED risk factors, highlighting increasing pathology and impairment in the high‐risk group. Discussion Findings suggest efforts are needed to increase reach of programs like HBI. Results also highlight the increasing pathology and impairment in the high‐risk group and the importance of programs such as HBI, which provide access to timely screening and intervention to prevent onset of clinical EDs.

“…Weight loss is a defining characteristic of AN, but not BN or BED. In fact, eating disorders are present in all body mass index (BMI) categories (Duncan, Ziobrowski, & Nicol, ; Flament et al, ), and AN is less common than the combined prevalence of other eating disorder diagnoses (Kessler et al, ; Lindvall Dahlgren & Wisting, ; Qian et al, ). On average, the BMI of individuals with AN is lower than the BMI of those with BN, which is lower than the BMI of those with BED.…”

Objective In 2015, the Academy for Eating Disorders (AED) collaborated with international patient, advocacy, and parent organizations to craft the “Nine Truths About Eating Disorders.” This document has been translated into over 30 languages and has been distributed globally to replace outdated and erroneous stereotypes about eating disorders with factual information. In this paper, we review the state of the science supporting the Nine Truths. Methods The literature supporting each of the Nine Truths was reviewed, summarized, and richly annotated. Results Most of the Nine Truths arise from well-established foundations in the scientific literature. Additional evidence is required to further substantiate some of the assertions in the document. Future investigations are needed in all areas to deepen our understanding of eating disorders, their causes, and their treatments. Conclusions The “Nine Truths About Eating Disorders” is a guiding document to accelerate global dissemination of accurate and evidence-informed information about eating disorders.

“…This is particularly concerning given that norms established for other populations, including females with EDs, may not generalize to males with EDs (Murray, Griffiths, & Mond, ). Although it is well‐documented that the prevalence of EDs in males is lower than in females (Duncan, Ziobrowski, & Nicol, ), data regarding the degree to which males and females with EDs differ in symptom severity in ED treatment settings remains sparse. Importantly, evidence suggests that (1) ED behaviors may be increasing at a faster rate in males relative to females (Mitchison, Hay, Slewa‐Younan, & Mond, ); (2) medical complications are particularly marked in males with EDs (Vo, Lau, & Rubenstein, ); and (3) males present for ED treatment across the spectrum of care, from outpatient to higher levels including partial hospitalization, residential, and inpatient (Weltzin et al, ).…”

Objective Evidence indicates that males account for a significant minority of patients with eating disorders (EDs). However, prior research has been limited by inclusion of small and predominantly non-clinical samples of males. This study aimed to (1) provide male clinical norms for widely used ED measures (Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire [EDE-Q] and Eating Disorder Inventory-3 [EDI-3]) and (2) examine sex differences in overall ED psychopathology. Method Participants were 386 male and 1,487 female patients with an ED diagnosis aged 16 years and older who completed the EDE-Q and EDI-3 upon admission to a residential or partial hospital ED treatment program. Results Normative data were calculated for the EDE-Q (global and subscales) and the EDI-3 (drive for thinness, body dissatisfaction, and bulimia). Analyses of variance (ANOVAs) used to examine sex, ED diagnosis, and their interaction in relation to overall ED psychopathology revealed a consistent pattern of greater severity among females for ED psychopathology. Discussion This study provides clinical norms on the EDE-Q and the EDI-3 for males with clinically diagnosed EDs. It is unclear whether the greater severity observed in females reflects qualitative differences in ED presentation or true quantitative differences in ED severity. Additional research examining the underlying nature of these differences and utilizing male-specific ED measures with clinical samples is warranted.
