Just out of interest, why only women? Men get eating disorders too.

Perhaps not in numbers sufficient (and even less volunteers) for getting
anything significant out of the study?

Could be but you'll never find out if you don't ask. I've just been reading
an autobiography of a local Scottish runner whose bulimia and anorexia was
misdiagnosed for years because "boys don't get anorexia".

Sorry I haven't gotten back on this sooner, but we are only doing women
in this study because there are many more women out there who struggle
with eating disorders especially when they are involved in sports where
weight is of concern such as distance running, gymnastics, and figure
skating. Steve is absolutely right, the numbers just aren't there for
men, only about 5-10% of people with eating disorders are men. Also,
there could be many other different factors that lead to eating
disorders in men than for women.
