横断面研究支持双性恋和男同性恋 (BG) 男性患饮食病理学的风险增加，而浪漫关系可能会缓冲风险；然而，还没有研究纵向检验这种关联。目前的研究探讨了浪漫关系如何影响 BG 与异性恋男性的饮食病理轨迹。 BG (n=51) 和异性恋 (n=522) 男性在基线和 10 年随访中完成了健康和饮食行为调查。对于 BG 男性来说，在基线时单身预示着在 10 年的随访中，“Drive for Thinness”得分会有所增加。此外，对于基线关系中的 BG 男性来说，较低的关系满意度预示着随着时间的推移，“追求瘦身”得分会增加。相反，这些关系变量并不能预测异性恋男性的饮食病理轨迹。讨论了风险理论模型（包括客体化理论和性少数压力理论）和预防（包括基于同伴主导的认知失调的干预措施）的含义。
Cross-sectional studies support that bisexual and gay (BG) men are at increased risk for eating pathology, and romantic relationships may buffer against risk; however, no studies have examined this association longitudinally. The current study examined how romantic relationships impact the trajectory of eating pathology in BG versus heterosexual men. BG (n=51) and heterosexual (n=522) men completed surveys of health and eating behaviors at baseline and 10-year follow-up. For BG men, being single at baseline prospectively predicted an increase in Drive for Thinness scores over 10-year follow-up. Additionally, for BG men in relationships at baseline, lower relationship satisfaction predicted an increase in Drive for Thinness scores over time. Conversely, these relationship variables did not predict trajectory of eating pathology for heterosexual men. Implications for theoretical models of risk, including objectification theory and sexual minority stress theory, and prevention, including peer-led cognitive dissonance based interventions, are discussed.
