Disordered eating in sexual minority post‐9/11 United States veterans

Abstract

It is well documented that sexual minority individuals are more likely to report disordered eating (DE) than those identifying as heterosexual. Although DE is prevalent in veterans, investigation of potential disparities in DE among sexual minority veterans is limited. This study examined rates of DE in post‐9/11 United States (U.S.) veterans identifying as sexual minorities and explored their association with discrimination because of marginalized identities.
