1. Research suggests that about one percent of female adolescents have anorexia.
2. Research suggests that about four percent of college-aged women have bulimia.
3. Only about 10% of people with anorexia and bulimia are male.
4. Without treatment, up to twenty percent of people with serious eating disorders die. With threatment, that number falls to two to three percent.
5. An anorexic person weighs 85% or less than what is developmentally expected for their age and height.
6. Cessation of menstruation is a side effect of Anorexia Nervosa in women and is due to the body's attempt to conserve energy when it is being starved.
7. A person with Bulimia Nervosa binges uncontrollably and then attempts to compensate either by purging, abusing laxatives, overexercising, fasting, or using diuretics.
8. A bulimic person's weight may be normal or near normal. They may even appear to be slightly overweight (since purging isn't an effective means to compensate for the excessive caloric intake).
9. Anorexics tend to be the "perfect child" and feel out of control so they control their eating, while bulimics tend to be secretive and abuse substances and be more provocative.
10. When a person develops a serious case of Anorexia Nervosa, they may develop lanugo, which is a growth of downy body hair and is an attempt by the body to keep itself warm.Additional Interesting fact:The average women is 5 ft, 4 inches tall, weighs 145 lbs, and wears a size 11-14.Barbie (when adjusted to be life size) is 6 ft tall, weighs 101 lbs, and wears a size 4.Average store mannequins are 6ft tall, (weight not available), and wear a size 6.Goes to show our unrealistic representation of females.
Hope that helped! :)
