Anorexia effects both genders. However, 90% of women are targeted with the illness. So this means for every 200 women, 1 in 6 are anorexic and unfortunately up to 20% of these women will die of this disorder. 2 -3% get treatment, nevertheless, they still die from anorexia. In the United States 3% of all young women and girls are anorexic and 3-4% of women in the US suffer from bulimia. Overall, in the Us 24 million either binge eat, are bulimic or are anorexic. 86% of people who suffer from anorexia were effected by the disease before the age of 20.
