about one in individuals diagnosed with an eating disorder is male.

Further explanation

During this time, eating disorders are always associated with women. Some of the well-known eating disorders are bulimia and anorexia nervosa. In fact, eating disorders can also be experienced by men, both children and adult men.

Eating disorders in men were first recorded in the 16th century, precisely in 1689. At that time, the doctor from England, Richard Morton, noted two cases of anorexia nervosa in one male patient. Then in 1874, Ernest Charles Lasegue and Sir William Gull made another case report about men with anorexia nervosa.

after these early cases, men with eating disorders were considered "rare" until 1972 when Peter Beaumont and colleagues conducted research on anorexia nervosa in men. But now, a lot of research on the treatment of eating disorders that do not involve male subjects.

the total proportion of men with eating disorders is not known with certainty. Older statistics say 10 percent, but given the reluctance of men with eating disorders to admit that they have the problem, most experts believe the figure is higher.

The National Association for Males with Eating Disorders estimates that 25 to 40 percent of people with eating disorders are men.

Among other eating disorders, men have relatively more representation in the categories of binge-eating disorder and Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). Statistics show that about 40 percent of people with binge-eating disorders are men.
