Abstract

Objective

This study investigates eating pathology in transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) youth compared to a community-based sample and individuals with eating disorders (EDs).

Method

Participants (ages 13–21 years) included TGNC youth from a paediatric gender clinic (N = 97), a demographically matched community-based sample of cisgender males (N = 97) and cisgender females (N = 97), and treatment-seeking patients with EDs (N = 112). The Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) was used to assess ED cognitions and behaviours.

Results

Transgender and gender non-conforming participants reported significantly higher EDE-Q global scores compared to the cisgender samples, but significantly lower than the ED sample. Transgender and gender non-conforming individuals reported a higher likelihood of objective binge episodes (OBEs) than the cisgender groups, albeit lower than youth with EDs. A substantial proportion of TGNC participants scored in elevated ranges on the EDE-Q global score (35% ≥ score of 3, 17% ≥ score of 4), significantly higher than cisgender males (0% ≥ score of 3, 0% ≥ score of 4) and females (9% ≥ score of 3, 3% ≥ score of 4).

Conclusions

Findings indicate that TGNC youth exhibit increased ED cognitions and OBEs compared to cisgender samples, highlighting the need for screening and addressing ED symptoms in this population.

跨性别和性别不合青年饮食不规范：与社区和临床样本的比较。

目的：本研究调查了跨性别和性别不合（TGNC）青年的饮食病理学，并与社区样本和饮食障碍（ED）个体进行了比较。方法：参与者（年龄13-21岁）包括来自儿科性别诊所的TGNC青年（N=97）、人口统计学匹配的顺性别男性和顺性别女性社区样本（N=97），以及寻求治疗的ED患者（N=112）。饮食障碍检查问卷（EDE-Q）用于评估ED认知和行为。结果：与顺性别样本相比，跨性别和性别不合的参与者报告的EDE-Q全球得分显著较高，但显著低于ED样本。跨性别和性别不一致的个体报告称，与顺性别组相比，发生客观狂欢发作（OBE）的可能性更高，尽管低于患有ED的年轻人。相当大比例的TGNC参与者在EDE-Q总体评分上得分较高（35%≥3分，17%≥4分），显著高于顺性别男性（0%≥3，0%≥4）和女性（9%≥3，3%≥4）。结论：研究结果表明，与顺性别样本相比，TGNC青年表现出更多的ED认知和OBE，这突出了在该人群中筛查和解决ED症状的必要性。
