Abstract

Purpose: This study compared gender differences in eating disorder risk among NCAA Division I cross country and track distance running student-athletes.

Methods: Six hundred thirty-eight male and female student-athletes competing at distances of 800m or greater completed the Eating Disorder Screen for Primary Care (ESP). Scores on the ESP were used as the risk of eating disorders.

Results: Females screened positive at higher rates for risk of eating disorders than males on the ESP at a cutoff of 2 (sensitivity 90-100%, specificity 71%) with rates of 45.95% ± 3.03 and 13.66% ± 1.80, respectively. Females were also screened positive at higher rates than males at a stricter cutoff of 3 (sensitivity 81%, specificity 92%), with rates of 21.69% ± 2.50 compared to 4.64% ± 1.10, respectively.

Conclusion: This study highlights that, among distance runners, both males and females are at risk of eating disorders, with females being at higher risk. It also emphasizes the need for screening for risk of eating disorders in this population.

NCAA一级越野赛和径赛学生运动员饮食失调风险的性别差异。

目的:本研究比较NCAA一级越野跑和田径长跑学生运动员饮食失调风险的性别差异。方法:638名参加800米及以上比赛的男女学生运动员完成了初级保健进食障碍筛查(ESP)。ESP得分被用作饮食失调的风险。结果:女性进食障碍筛查阳性率高于男性(敏感性90-100%，特异性71%)，临界值为2，分别为45.95%±3.03和13.66%±1.80。女性的阳性检出率也高于男性，更严格的截止值为3(敏感性81%，特异性92%)，女性的检出率分别为21.69%±2.50和4.64%±1.10。结论:这项研究强调，在长跑运动员中，男性和女性都有饮食失调的风险，女性的风险更高。它还强调了对这一人群进行饮食失调风险筛查的必要性。
