Eating Disorders Continued

  • Bulimia - is when someone controls their weight by binge eating and then forcing themselvs to be sick. They may also use laxatives, which is a medicine, to make them empty their bowels.

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.
