Abstract in brief

  • The review highlights that the prevalence of anorexia nervosa among young females is approximately 0.3%, with bulimia nervosa affecting about 1% of young women and 0.1% of young men, while binge eating disorder affects at least 1%.
  • The incidence rates are 8 cases per 100,000 people annually for anorexia nervosa and 12 per 100,000 for bulimia nervosa, with anorexia nervosa increasing until the 1970s.
  • Despite the widespread nature of eating disorders, only a small fraction of individuals meeting diagnostic criteria actually seek or receive mental health treatment.]

Alrededor del 0,3 % de las chicas jóvenes son anoréxicas y un 1 % son bulímicas. Los chicos están progresivamente aproximándose a estos porcentajes. https://t.co/PMSzGUCIHQ
