200 - Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa
نویسنده
چکیده
Childhood anxiety disorders may increase the likelihood of these disorders, although no clear cause has been identified for either illness. Women suffer from anorexia and bulimia more frequently than men do. The lifetime prevalence of anorexia varies from 0.3% to 1% for women; men are estimated to have one tenth of that prevalence. Bulimia is more common than anorexia, with a lifetime prevalence of 1% to 3% in women. Similarly, only 10% of bulimic patients are male; these men are more likely to suffer from premorbid obesity. The incidence is further increased in male wrestlers.
