Compare and contrast eating disorders in males and females

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Many of the factors that promote eating disorders are the same for males and females, such as low self-esteem, depression, traumatic events or abuse in the past, or participating in a sport that values thinness. However, unlike women, men who develop eating disorders tend to have been overweight in the past. Men also tend to have higher levels of sexual anxiety than women with eating disorders.
