Body Checking Behaviors Among Boys and Men With Muscle Dysmorphia, Anorexia Nervosa, and Atypical Anorexia Nervosa
This study provides additional evidence that body checking behaviors are similar between boys and men with probable muscle dysmorphia and probable anorexia nervosa/atypical anorexia nervosa, highlighting the clinical and theoretical overlap between these conditions among boys and men. Assessment and treatment of muscle dysmorphia and anorexia nervosa/atypical anorexia nervosa should include body checking behaviors, specifically those focused on muscularity and leanness.
