Best Answer

Although males comprise only about 1/10 of all people with anorexia, when they do have anorexia they are affected as severely as are women with the same illness. Males are affected by anorexia in the same way as women are: for example, they can have organ failure, extreme emaciation, and even death. However, males with anorexia may not be taken as seriously as women because anorexia is often viewed as a women's disease.
