Anorexia and Bulimia affect both men and women and usually develop around the age of 16 to 19. Bulimia is five times more common than anorexia and 90% of sufferers are female. Anorexia affects 1 in 250 women and 1 in 2,000 men. Binge eating however, usually occurs later in life between the age of 30 and 40 and affects men and women equally. |
