Why US out of all the nations in the world have the highest mortality rate from anorexia nervosa?
The US has some of the largest incidences of anorexia and other eating disorders. This is speculated to be because of the focus of mass-media culture, as well as the fact that the US is almost entirely a developed country (anorexia is rarely seen in developing and third world countries because people in poverty often do not choose not to eat, they are more often too poor to afford food to survive in the first place). The US also does not have a centralized health care system like many European nations do, meaning that people do not have insurance often. Many insurance companies will not pay for medical treatment or full treatment (they issue early discharge), so anorexics cannot recieve the proper care that they need to recover.
