  text: "Objective\r\nThis study examined the association between socio-demographic
    patterns and eating disorder (ED) risk in 298 women (mean age = 28.4 years). We
    focused on women, as existing research suggests that EDs disproportionately affect
    women. Within this sample, we took into account the intersections of different
    socio-demographic variables. Additionally, we assessed body dissatisfaction and
    subjective health status (S-HS) as self-reported measures to gain a more comprehensive
    understanding of ED risk.\r\nMethod\r\nWe conducted a cluster analysis (k-means)
    using ten demographic variables (e.g., sexual orientation, migration history,
    presence of disabilities), which revealed three distinct participant clusters.
    Then, we applied two multiple logistic regression models using cluster membership,
    body dissatisfaction related to fat (BD-F) and muscularity (BD-M), and S-HS as
    determinants, with the outcome being ED risk measured using two scales (EAT-8;
    EDE-Q).\r\nResults\r\nCluster Three – notably characterized by queer women with
    a migration history and identification as part of an ethnic minority - showed
    a consistently higher ED risk. In contrast, Cluster One, which included a higher
    proportion of older individuals as well as individuals with disabilities, or caregiving
    responsibilities, showed the lowest risk for ED. In Cluster Two an increased risk
    for EDs was observed in the EAT-8, but not in the EDE-Q, suggesting measurement-specific
    differences. BD-F and BD-M were significantly associated with ED risk. BD-F proved
    to be the factor with the strongest influence.\r\nConclusions\r\nWe emphasize
    the importance of considering person-centered socio-demographic positions and
    different forms of body dissatisfaction to assess the risk of ED."

  text: '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.'

  text: 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. DiscussionWe discuss
    how considering sex and gender along with further sociodemographic differences
    in EDs may help to improve ED diagnosis and treatment.

  text: "Background\r\nPrevious investigations on the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire
    (EDE-Q) factor structures in men have been restricted to non-clinical settings,
    limiting conclusions about the factorial validity in men with eating disorders
    (ED). This study aimed to examine the factor structure of the German EDE-Q in
    a clinical group of adult men with diagnosed ED.\r\nMethods\r\nED symptoms were
    assessed using the validated German version of the EDE-Q. Exploratory factor analysis
    (EFA) using principal-axis factoring based on polychoric correlations was conducted
    for the full sample (N = 188) using Varimax-Rotation with Kaiser-Normalization.\r\nResults\r\nHorn’s
    parallel analysis suggested a five-factor solution with an explained variance
    of 68%. The EFA factors were labeled “Restraint” (items 1, 3–6), “Body Dissatisfaction”
    (items 25–28), “Weight Concern” (items 10–12, 20), “Preoccupation” (items 7 and
    8), and “Importance” (items 22 and 23). Items 2, 9, 19, 21, and 24 were excluded
    due to low communalities.\r\nConclusions\r\nFactors associated with body concerns
    and body dissatisfaction in adult men with ED are not fully represented in the
    EDE-Q. This could be due to differences in body ideals in men, e.g., the underestimation
    of the role of concerns about musculature. Consequently, it may be useful to apply
    the 17-item five-factor structure of the EDE-Q presented here to adult men with
    diagnosed ED."

  text: This study examined the dimensional structure of the German Eating Disorder
    Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) in clinical groups of women with Anorexia Nervosa
    (AN; N = 821), Bulimia Nervosa (BN; N = 573), and Binge-Eating Disorder (BED;
    N = 359) using Exploratory Graph Analyses (EGA). The EGA yielded a 12-item-four-dimension
    structure for the AN group (subscales “Restraint”, “Body Dissatisfaction”, “Preoccupation”,
    “Importance”), a 20-item-five-dimension structure for the BN group (subscales
    “Restraint”, “Body Dissatisfaction”, “Eating Concern”, “Preoccupation”, “Importance”),
    and a 17-item-four-dimension structure for the BED group (subscales “Restraint”,
    “Body Dissatisfaction”, “Concern”, “Importance”). This first investigation of
    the EDE-Q's dimensional structure using EGA suggests that the original factor
    model may be suboptimal for specific clinical ED samples and that alternative
    scoring should be considered when screening specific cohorts or evaluating the
    effects of interventions.

  text: 'Objective: Phenotypical comparisons between individuals with obesity without
    binge eating disorder (OB) and individuals with obesity and comorbid binge eating
    disorder (OB + BED) are subject to ongoing investigations. 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.'
