Quadflieg N, et al. - Researchers examined a large sample of males (147 anorexia nervosa [AN], 81 bulimia nervosa [BN], 110 eating disorder not otherwise specified [ED-NOS]; DSM-IV) for the long-term mortality of eating disorders. Crude mortality rates (CMR) of 12.9% in AN, 11.1% in BN, and 6.4% in ED-NOS were identified. These findings indicate high mortality in male inpatients with an eating disorder, especially in AN. Development of more effective treatments to achieve a better outcome in these patients is required.
