  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.
