Anorexia nervosa primarily affects adolescent girls and young women, although it can occur in individuals of any age or gender. Factors such as societal pressures, perfectionism, and a history of dieting or weight concerns often contribute to its onset. However, it is increasingly recognized that boys and men can also develop anorexia, albeit at lower rates. Overall, the condition is most prevalent among those involved in activities that emphasize body image, such as dance, modeling, and certain sports.
