What part of the world is anorexia most common?

Answer 1

Anorexia is most common found in what is known as "Western Society". This is for a few reasons. A main one is that this particular area holds a large percentage of the world's population, and it also heavily filled with media sources and ideals of thin-ness. Anorexia almost only (95%) affects those in the upper- or middle-classes. This is because those "more priveledged" than the lower-classes or those in poverty know that food is available, and can limit it as there almost is no chance of a real food-shortage or starvation for them.

Anorexia is mostly found in - 1. Girls (teenage to 20s, generally) 2. Middle- to Upper-class (they can "afford" not to eat beause there is always a guarentee of food, they have easier access to workout equipment / medications, some argue that they feel more pressure becasue they are always looked upon.) 3. Western Society, Northern Hemisphere (not really definite, but some think it is because more people live in the Northern Hemisphere and something about different impresion of how people "should" look / media / lifestyles / ect. in the Wetsern Socoeity. - "Western" means US, Europe, and so on - ) 4. Self-Conscious (they are not happy with their bodies.) There are always exceptions to this, of course, but this is a general grouping that has been made.
