Abstract

Objectives : The aims of present study was to investigate clinical characteristics of male patients with eating disorders. Methods : The present study included 32 male patients with eating disorders and 75 female patients with eating disorders, recruited from an eating disorders specialized clinic in a university hospital, Seoul, Korea. We compared clinical characteristics of eating disorders and comorbid conditions of depression and anxiety between men and women with eating disorders. Correlations between eating disorders psychopathology in men with eating disorders and their weight suppression(WS) were investigated. Results : There was no difference in age at presentation, age of onset, illness duration, and body mass index at presentation between genders. Male patients with eating disorders had higher rates of premorbid overweight or obesity than female patients with eating disorders had. WS in the male patients was associated with the severity of their eating disorders. Conclusions : The present study provides grounds for improved understanding for clinical features of eating disorders in males.

연구목적 최근 남성에서 섭식장애의 유병률이 증가되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 남성 섭식장애 환자의 임상적 특징을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 본 연구는 2010년 3월부터 2016년 11월까지 인제대학교 서울백병원 섭식장애 클리닉에 내원한 남성 환자 32명과 대조군인 여성 환자 75명을 대상으로 하였다. 남성 및 여성 환자 간 섭식병리 및 공존정신병리를 비교하였으며, 면담도구로는 섭식장애검사(Eating disorders examination)를 사용하였으며, 설문평가로는 벡 우울 척도(Beck Depression Inventory)와 스필버그 상태-특성 불안 척도(Spielberger State and Trait Anxiety Inventory)를 사용하였고, 체중관련 변수들을 조사하였다. 남성 환자 군을 대상으로 과거 체중감량의 정도와 섭식장애 병리 간의 연관성을 탐색하였다. 결 과 남녀 환자 간 내원 연령, 발병 연령, 이환 기간, 내원 시의 체질량지수는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 남성 섭식장애 환자에서 여성 환자들에 비하여 병전 과체중 및 비만의 기왕력이 더 높게 나타났다(${\chi}^2=4.692$, p=0.03). 남녀 간 동반되는 불안 증상의 정도는 차이가 없었으나, 남성 환자군에서 우울 증상의 정도가 낮았다(d=0.63). 남성 환자들에서 과거 체중감량 정도와 현재의 섭식장애 병리간 관련 있었다. 결 론 본 연구는 한국인 남성을 대상으로 섭식장애의 임상적 특징을 탐색한 첫 연구라는 데 큰 의의가 있다. 본 연구결과는 남성 섭식장애 환자들의 치료에 대한 접근을 높이고 예방계획을 수립하는 데 중요한 단서가 될 수 있을 것이다.
