National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC): Eating Disorders in Males

It is estimated that nearly 10% of boys and men will have some kind of eating disorder and the prevalence of these disorders is impacted by cultural ideals of masculinity and body image. There has traditionally been little understanding of men who are affected by eating disorders as the it is viewed as a 'female' issue but with new programs there will be increased focus on how services can become more active in recognising that men can be affected.
