  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.
