Abstract

Purpose of review: Transgender individuals are vulnerable to many nutrition-related conditions, especially eating disorders due to gender dysphoria. This review aims to summarize the current literature on eating disorders in transgender individuals. The issues that should be considered in nutrition care for the transgender population are discussed regarding public health.

Recent findings: Transgender individuals can exhibit disordered eating behaviors to overcome the stress they experience due to stigma, discrimination, social exclusion, and abuse. Recent studies showed that disordered eating and clinical eating disorders are more prevalent among transgender than cisgender people. It is very important for a multidisciplinary team working in the clinic to understand the epidemiology, etiology, diagnostic criteria, and treatment of eating disorders in the transgender population. However, multidisciplinary nutritional care is limited due to the lack of transgender-specific nutrition guidelines. It is safe to say that adhering to a generally healthy nutritional pattern and using standardized nutrition guidelines. We recommend that health professionals working with patients/clients with eating disorders receive continuing education in transgender health, be empowering and inclusive, address patients/clients with their gender identity nouns and pronouns, and develop nutritional treatment plans that are not gender-specific. Eating disorders are a significant public health problem in the transgender population. Therefore, clinical screening and early intervention are necessary to identify and treat eating disorders in transgender people. Eating disorders in the transgender population should be monitored routinely, and gender-affirming care should be provided as well as treatment of eating disorders.

性别认同营养:跨性别人群饮食障碍综述。
综述的目的:跨性别个体容易受到许多营养相关疾病的影响,尤其是由于性别焦虑症引起的饮食失调。这篇综述旨在总结目前关于跨性别者饮食失调的文献。讨论了跨性别人群营养护理中应考虑的公共卫生问题。最近的发现:跨性别者可以表现出紊乱的饮食行为,以克服他们因污名、歧视、社会排斥和虐待而经历的压力。最近的研究表明,饮食紊乱和临床饮食失调在跨性别者中比顺性别者更普遍。对于在诊所工作的多学科团队来说,了解跨性别人群饮食失调的流行病学、病因、诊断标准和治疗非常重要。然而,由于缺乏针对变性人的营养指南,多学科营养护理受到限制。可以肯定地说,坚持普遍健康的营养模式并使用标准化的营养指南。我们建议与饮食失调患者/客户合作的卫生专业人员接受跨性别健康方面的继续教育,增强能力和包容性,用他们的性别认同名词和代词来称呼患者/客户,并制定不针对性别的营养治疗计划。饮食失调是跨性别人群中一个重要的公共卫生问题。因此,临床筛查和早期干预对于识别和治疗变性人的饮食障碍是必要的。应定期监测跨性别人群的饮食失调,并提供性别确认护理和饮食失调治疗。

期刊介绍: This journal aims to provide comprehensive review articles that emphasize significant developments in nutrition research emerging in recent publications. By presenting clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to discuss the influence of nutrition on major health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity, as well as the impact of nutrition on genetics, metabolic function, and public health. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 25 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, suggests topics of special importance to their country/region, and ensures that topics and current and include emerging research.
