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.

Which is more deadly anorexia or bulimia?

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.
