Resum

Background: Eating disorders (EDs) in the athlete population are often discussed in terms of comparing with non-athlete samples, however little is known regarding their gender clinical differences. Therefore, this study aimed to compare clinical and psychopathological features among athletes with an eating disorder (ED+A), non-athletes with an eating disorder (ED-A) and healthy controls (HCs), in addition to observing gender differences. Methods: The sample consisted of 192 participants, all were age and gender matched, ED+A n = 64, ED-A n = 64 and HCs n = 64, with each group consisting of 50 females and 14 males. And each participant completed a face-to-face interview and various self-report questionnaires regarding personality traits (Temperament and Character Inventory-Revised), eating (Eating Disorder Inventory - 2) and general psychopathology (Symptom Checklist 90 - Revised), as well as relevant clinical indexes (lifetime suicidal attempts/ideation and sport activities conducted). Results: In the ED+A group females had significantly higher eating and general psychopathology compared to males, especially body dissatisfaction (BD) and drive for thinness (DT) (p <.001). Overall, ED+A males had the lowest BD across the 3 groups. In terms of personality traits, ED+A females had significantly higher harm avoidance and lower self-directedness compared to their male counterparts. Lastly, suicidal ideation was significantly higher in ED+A females compared to males. Conclusions: These results suggest that it may be imperative to better understand the risk factors in the athletic realm which may lead to the development of EDs, and which factors may be protective as well. It may also be helpful to encourage trainers to include preventive and screening strategies for athletes.
