Abstract
Despite the recent surge of eating disorders among women in large Asian cities, male eating disorder cases remain rare. The current article described 5 male eating disorder cases that presented within a period of 2 years in Wuhan, a city in central China. The authors described 4 cases of anorexia nervosa (2 restrictive, 2 bulimic) and 1 case of normal weight bulimia nervosa. Fear of fat was reported for all 5 cases, and none of the cases reported homosexuality. Sociocultural changes and westernization most probably accounted for the increasing incidence of eating disorders among male and female youngsters in China today.
