Eating disorders, once thought to be largely confined to females, are increasingly common in males and this diversity is not accommodated in current classification schemes, so diagnostic and clinical challenges presented by these distinctive presentations are considered.
Abstract
Summary Eating disorders, once thought to be largely confined to females, are increasingly common in males. However, the presentation of disordered eating among males is often distinct to that observed in females and this diversity is not accommodated in current classification schemes. Here, we consider the diagnostic and clinical challenges presented by these distinctive presentations.
