Abstract
Anoxia Nervosa Eating disorders are relatively rare among the general
population. This review discusses the literature on the incidence, prevalence and mortality
rates of eating disorders. Study searched online Medline/Pubmed, Embase and PsycINFO
databases for articles published in English using several key terms relating to Anoxia
Nervosa an eating disorders and epidemiology. Anorexia nervosa is relatively common
among young women. While the overall incidence rate remained stable over the past
decades, there has been an increase in the high risk-group of 15–19 year old girls. It is
unclear whether this reflects earlier detection of anorexia nervosa cases or an earlier age at
onset. All eating disorders have an elevated mortality risk; anorexia nervosa the most
striking. Compared with the other eating disorders, binge eating disorder is more common
among males and older individuals.
