Disordered eating behaviors among sexual and gender minority youth

What is it about?

Individuals who engage in disordered eating behaviors like restricting their food intake and vomiting to lose weight are known to be higher risk for later development of an eating disorder. This study suggests that the prevalence of engaging in disordered eating behaviors varies across intersecting gender identity and sexual orientation in nuanced ways. While some subgroups may be more susceptible, others may be uniquely protected from risk.
