Reuters Health reported about new study with twins. The result of the study is a suggestion that the obsession with being too small and undeveloped for men may have the same genetic roots as anorexia nervosa.

Anorexia nervosa not typical in men, and the cause of the disease is badly understood yet, said Dr. Anu Raevuori of the University of Helsinki in Finland. Scientists studied five twin pairs born in Finland between 1975 and 1979, each including one male with anorexia nervosa. Each of the five men with anorexia had been overweight before age 17, but all of their co-twins were normal weight in their early 20s.

The findings suggest that all of the symptoms above have similar genetic roots, the researchers point out. Four of the men with anorexia and four of the co-twins had a lifetime affective disorder, which was major depression for all but one of them. Every of them had depression prior to eating disorder.

Feelings of isolation, and shame were ubiquitous among studied twins. They appeared as a result of so called double stigma of having not only a mental illness, but also a eating disorder which is concerned to be women's disease.
