In society and the media, women are more prone to descrimination or demands based on their looks. Women also naturally put more effort than men do into their looks, and will judge others more than their male counterparts based on appearances (both physcial and material). For this reason, current social demands to be thinner in many cultures are pressuing women to be unnaturally thin, and eating disorders tend to arise more commonly than with men, who are under less pressure to look a certain way.
Women are more likely and most people from ages 11- 19 are more common to suffer either bulimia and anorexia nervosa, but adults can suffer from these eating disorders too.
Most of the time bulimia starts with anorexia, but then maybe they go to somewhere with a lot of food and they lose control and binge. To get rid of the calories they purge an then this becomes an addiction. Bulimia is much more common than anorexia because not all bulimics have anorexia, but most anorexics have bulimic tendencies.
bulimia / anorexia - eating disroders, women are more affected than men by a 9 : 1 ratio. chronic dieting - women tend to diet significantly mroe than men do. muscle dysmorphia - can affect both men and women equally.
While an eating disorder can affect either gender equally, more women tend to suffer from anorexia and bulimia while more men tend to suffer from muscle dysmorphia, protein abuse, and anorexia athletica.
Eating disorders don't discriminate. It all depends on what that person ends up resorting to.. A man can just as easily have anorexia nervosa rather than bulimia nervosa & vice versa. D. MUSCLE DYSMORPHIA. i just took the homeschool test and its d :)

Both are deadly, it depends on how long a person suffers. A person with anorexia is in a state of self-starvation and will die due to the effects of starvation. A person with bulimia binges and purges, purging is deadly, people sometimes die on their first purge, others do it for years without dying. It's a gamble. Personally I would say bulimia, though I am NOT dismissing the dangers of anorexia, they both lead to death, but from my experience, bulimia is more dangerous.
Not always. However research shows that you are a lot more likely to develop anorexia/bulimia if a family member is or was a sufferer.
Yes, more so from bulimia, though (vomit contains acidic stomach juices which wear away at tooth enamel).
Both bulimia and anorexia are eating disorders. Bulimia is characterized by excessive over-eating (called bingeing), followed by forcefully throwing up or using harsh laxatives (called purging) to rid the body of the food as quickly as possible. Anorexia is where a person severly limits the amount of calories that they consume in a day and exercise excessively to burn off even more calories.
There are far more than 3 eating disroders out there. The three most common are anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating / compulsive over eating.
