@misc{13575, abstract = {{Background: Adolescents' early responses and overall outcomes during anorexia nervosa (AN) treatment may differ by patient gender, raising the question of whether evaluating clinical data during AN treatment may require different criteria. Methods: We investigated, using patient records, whether young men and young women with AN differed in terms of early treatment response (defined as weight change and variability within the first 14 days) and whether early treatment responses predicted treatment outcomes similarly across genders. Results: Weight changes predicted patient discharge weight across all gender groups. Weight variability predicted higher disordered eating psychopathology and higher body image insecurities at discharge. Gender differences emerged only for weight gain, which was more pronounced for young men, and gender modulated the effects of weight gain and variability on general psychopathology outcomes. Conclusions: The present findings suggest that early weight changes and weight variability are similarly important predictors of AN treatment outcomes in adolescents but also hint at possible gender differences in terms of the link between weight change and, respectively, variability on general psychopathology.}}, author = {{Halbeisen, Georg and Braks, Karsten and Huber, Thomas J. and Paslakis, Georgios}}, booktitle = {{Journal of Clinical Medicine}}, issn = {{2077-0383}}, keywords = {{eating disorders, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder : adolescents, psychotherapyt, reatment outcomes}}, number = {{11}}, publisher = {{MDPI }}, title = {{{Exploring Gender Differences in Early Weight Change and Variability in Adolescents with Anorexia Nervosa during Inpatient Treatment}}}, doi = {{10.3390/jcm13113255}}, volume = {{13}}, year = {{2024}}, } @misc{13617, abstract = {{Early weight gain is a primary goal in the treatment of anorexia nervosa (AN) and associated with more favorable discharge weights and clinical outcomes. Activity urges, that is, a motivational state to engage in activity, have been suspected to delay early weight gain, but their prognostic role remains barely explored. Here, we investigated whether acute (state‐like) activity urges at treatment onset would predict within‐person weight gain in patients with AN during the initial 2 weeks of inpatient treatment. Adults with AN from an inpatient unit (N = 53) completed an activity urges measure at treatment onset, and weight changes were monitored for the duration of their treatment. Regression analyses, controlling for admission body mass index and other patient variables (i.e., patient age and AN subtype), found that higher state activity urges were associated with lower initial weight gain. Mediation analyses showed that differences in early weight changes further linked higher activity urges at admission to lower discharge weights. An activity urge cutoff value of 2.76 for distinguishing between cases with optimal and suboptimal initial weight gain is proposed. We discuss potential mechanisms of the link between activity urges and early weight gain and the implications of activity urges as a prognostic factor for improving weight restoration during AN treatment.}}, author = {{Halbeisen, Georg and Amin, Lina and Braks, Karsten and Huber, Thomas J. and Paslakis, Georgios}}, booktitle = {{International Journal of Eating Disorders}}, issn = {{0276-3478}}, keywords = {{anorexia nervosa, inpatient treatment, physical activity, psychotherapy, restlessness, urge for movement}}, number = {{12}}, pages = {{2452--2460}}, publisher = {{Wiley}}, title = {{{Acute Activity Urges Predict Lower Early Weight Gain During Inpatient Treatment for Anorexia Nervosa}}}, doi = {{10.1002/eat.24305}}, volume = {{57}}, year = {{2024}}, } @misc{13586, author = {{Paslakis, Georgios and Dimitropoulos, Gina and Halbeisen, Georg}}, booktitle = {{Frontiers in Psychiatry}}, issn = {{1664-0640}}, keywords = {{anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, social diversity, gender bias, ethnic bias}}, publisher = {{Frontiers Research Foundation}}, title = {{{A global perspective on diversity in eating disorders}}}, doi = {{10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1276078}}, volume = {{14}}, year = {{2023}}, } @misc{13582, abstract = {{IntroductionEating disorders (EDs) are among the most severe mental disorders in women and men, often associated with high symptom burden and significant limitations in daily functioning, frequent comorbidities, chronic course of illness, and even high mortality rates. At the same time, differences between men and women with EDs remain poorly explored. MethodsIn this study, we compared 104 men to 104 diagnosis-matched women with EDs regarding sociodemographic and clinical features. Using latent class mixture modelling, we identified four distinct patient subgroups based on their sociodemographic features. ResultsMen with EDs had significantly higher odds than women to belong to a "single-childfree-working" class. Moreover, while there were few overall differences in ED-related symptoms and general psychopathology between men and women, single-childfree-working men with EDs presented with higher general psychopathology symptoms than men in the other classes.
