The Economic Times India highlighted UBC research that found eating disorders are on the rise for young lesbian and bisexual girls, while such behaviours are declining among their straight peers.
“While it’s promising to see improvements in the rate of disordered eating behaviours among heterosexual youth, we cannot say there has been any definite reduction of these behaviours for sexual minority youth,” said Ryan Watson, a postdoctoral fellow at UBC’s school of nursing.
The story also appeared in the Montreal Gazette, the Vancouver Sun and on Daily Xtra.
