RESUMEN : OBJETIVO: Existe una escasez de estudios sobre los varones con trastornos de conducta alimentaria (TCA). Por esta razón decidimos realizar un estudio para describir el perfil sociodemográfico y clínico de los varones con TCA que acudieron a recibir su primer tratamiento a una unidad especializada. METODOLOGÍA: Evaluamos retrospectivamente 110 varones entre los años 2010 y 2021; se extrajeron los datos de las historias clínicas y las evaluaciones iniciales. RESULTADOS: El diagnóstico más frecuente fue la anorexia nerviosa (32,7%); siendo la edad media del diagnóstico de TCA 27,27 (11,90). El tiempo medio transcurrido sin tratamiento fue de 74,16 meses. Se objetivó una adecuada adherencia al tratamiento (76,6%) predominando el alta por remisión completa. En un 43,6% de los casos se diagnosticó otro trastorno mental comórbido. Siendo el más habitual el trastorno de ansiedad. CONCLUSIONES: Es posible que el diagnóstico de los varones con TCA sea más difícil de realizar y la solicitud de ayuda por parte de estos esté más retrasada. Parece necesario una mayor concienciación en el ámbito sanitario para lograr una mejor detección de los casos.
ABSTRACT : PURPOSE: There is a paucity of studies on men with eating disorders (ED). Thus we decided to conduct a study to describe the sociodemographic and clinical profile of males with ED who attended their first treatment in a specialized unit. METHODOLOGY: We retrospectively evaluated 110 males between the years 2010 and 2021; data were extracted from medical records and initial assessments. RESULTS: The most frequent diagnosis was anorexia nervosa (32.7%); mean age at diagnosis of ED was 27.27 (11.90). The mean time without treatment was 74.16 months. Adequate adherence to treatment was observed (76.6%), with a predominance of discharge due to complete remission. Another comorbid mental disorder was diagnosed in 43.6% of the cases. The most common was anxiety disorder. CONCLUSIONS: It is possible that the diagnosis of males with ED is more difficult to make and their request for help is more delayed. It seems necessary to raise awareness in the health care setting in order to achieve better detection of cases.
