EATING DISORDERS

Abstract

ANOREXIA AND BULIMIA Anorexia and bulimia nervosa are eating disorders which are only found in western societies, and they are conditions which affect young Caucasians, primarily girls and young women. They are also more common among the higher socio‐economic groups. For example, the incidence among girls in private education is thought to be 1%, but fewer girls are affected in state education.
