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.
