补偿行为，体重和形状的显着性，并驱动瘦的性别差异很少被检查在非临床样本。本研究以1111对男性和1510对女性双胞胎为研究对象，采用问卷调查的方法，对双胞胎的饮食态度和行为进行了性别差异的研究。使用广义估计方程（GEE）的逻辑回归测试在何种程度上可以从补偿行为，体重和形状的显着性，并驱动瘦预测性别。结果表明，除了运动和“其他”外，补偿行为的使用预测了所有女性性别，没有发现性别差异。体重和形状的更大重要性也预测了女性性别，就像瘦的驱动力一样。关于运动使用和“其他”补偿行为的研究结果对饮食失调有疾病分类学意义，特别是关于男性饮食失调。这些发现表明，补偿行为的性质和功能可能因性别而异。
Gender differences in compensatory behaviors, weight and shape salience, and drive for thinness have rarely been examined in nonclinical samples. The present study examines gender differences in a sample of 1111 male and 1510 female twins responding to a questionnaire on eating attitudes and behaviors. Logistic regression using generalized estimating equations (GEE) tested the extent to which gender could be predicted from compensatory behaviors, weight and shape salience, and drive for thinness. The results indicated that use of compensatory behaviors predicted female gender for all except exercise and "other," where no gender differences were found. Greater importance of weight and shape also predicted female gender, as did drive for thinness. Findings with respect to exercise use and "other" compensatory behaviors have nosological implications for the eating disorders, especially as regards eating disorders in males. These findings suggest that both the nature and function of compensatory behaviors may differ by gender.
