Millions of men and women around the wolrd suffer from anorexia. Many unfortunately go un-noticed or un-documented, meaning that numbers are probably higher than predicted. As it stands, current estimations are that 1 in every 250 people has some sort of anorexia or anorexic tendencies (above what is considered mentally and physically acceptable or "normal"). Of that, 90% are women and 10% are men.
