Anorexia nervosa in young men: A cohort study
Article Abstract:
A study investigates the background and outcome of anorexia nervosa (AN) in young Swedish men. Findings suggest that on a group level there are some differences between male patients with AN and the male population without AN with regard to social background, capacity to support oneself, and living with partner and child, while mental ill-health outcome is almost the same for men with AN as for the general population.
