Important Facts

Eating disorders are the third chronic condition in the world and it is estimated that one out of three cases is unknown because people do not consult a doctor for this type of behavior.

An ongoing study in Minnesota has found that the incidence (new cases) of anorexia has increased over the past 50 years only in women aged 15-24. Incidence has been stable at other ages and in men.

In children, most patients with eating disorders begin to manifest the disorder between the ages of 11 and 13.

Research shows that 42% of girls in grades 1-3 want to be thin and 81% of 10-year-old girls are afraid of being fat.
