We expanded on previous research by exploring a broader range of ED symptoms, including orthorexia (ON) and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). Using network analysis, we analysed data from 308 adult women (18 years or older) who completed muscularity, disordered eating, and sociodemographic assessments. Our findings revealed five interconnected symptom communities reflecting traditional ED symptoms, such as eating concerns and shape and weight overvaluation. Notably, muscularity concerns emerged as a distinct community, emphasising their relevance to ED symptoms in women. Additionally, we identified selective eating tendencies and compulsive healthy eating. Highly central symptoms were rumination about healthy eating, fear and guilt over unhealthy eating, body‐related embarrassment, and muscularity concerns (wishing to be heavier, wishing for heavier arms). These results suggest that muscularity concerns could constitute a uniquely identifiable and central diagnostic target for body image concerns and disordered eating in women."}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["1072-4133"],"eissn":["1099-0968"]},"intvolume":"        33","volume":33,"title":"Muscularity Concerns and Disordered Eating Symptoms in Adult Women: A Network Analysis"},{"title":"Investigating the structure of disordered eating symptoms in adult men: A network analysis","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1072-4133","1067-1633"],"eissn":["1099-0968"]},"intvolume":"        33","volume":33,"author":[{"full_name":"Eschrich, R.

At the same time, gender-related differences have rarely been explored, raising the question whether men and women with OB and OB + BED may require differently tailored treatments.Method: We retrospectively compared pre- versus post-treatment data in a matched sample of n = 180 men and n = 180 women with OB or OB + BED who received inpatient treatment.Results: We found that men displayed higher weight loss than women independent of diagnostic group. In addition, men with OB + BED showed higher weight loss than men with OB after 7 weeks of treatment.Conclusions: The present findings add to an emerging yet overall still sparse body of studies comparing phenotypical features and treatment outcomes in men and women with OB and OB + BED; implications for further research are discussed.Clinical Trial Registration: The study was prospectively registered with the German Clinical Trial Register as part of application DRKS00028441.","lang":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","author":[{"last_name":"Brandt","first_name":"Gerrit","full_name":"Brandt, Gerrit"},{"id":"85780","full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg","first_name":"Georg","orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215","last_name":"Halbeisen"},{"last_name":"Braks","first_name":"Karsten","full_name":"Braks, Karsten"},{"first_name":"Thomas J.","full_name":"Huber, Thomas J.","last_name":"Huber"},{"first_name":"Georgios","full_name":"Paslakis, Georgios","last_name":"Paslakis"}],"publisher":"Wiley","issue":"3","publication":"European Eating Disorders Review","status":"public","title":"Gender differences in individuals with obesity and binge eating disorder: A retrospective comparison of phenotypical features and treatment outcomes","volume":31,"pmid":"1","intvolume":"        31","external_id":{"pmid":["36802088"],"isi":["000936206700001"]},"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1099-0968"],"issn":["1072-4133"]}}]
