What kind of country do we live in where we have people rooting through garbage cans to find something to eat, and then other people eat a nice meal at a great restaurant, then puke it up on purpose?

It would be interesting if veganmav went dumpster diving outside a sorority. He'd end up looking like he ate a jelly donut except he'd still be starving. Bad beat.

Knowing absolutely nothing about aneroxisa nervosa, I'm going to guess the reported incidence is higher the wealthier, and whiter the girls get.

now controlling for income and race...as well as IQ, where would you think the largest rates of eating disorders would occur? (i.e. in what school? geographic region (when it's not being controlled for) age bracket? etc.)

this is what i kinda wanted to get a peek at.

im thinking that it makes sense that high pressure, highly viewed institutions are likely to have a higher reported incidence of AN and other eating disorders (EDI- eating disorder inventory) than other schools.

i have no data to back this up, but it seems that schools where there are many pressures are likely to be correlated w/ high incidence of EDIs. college in general is tough on many students...i just think that the harder one has to work and the more likely one is to need to feel accepted, the more likely one is to develop such a psychological disease.

These factors have little to do with anorexia. One has to have a predisposition for the disease, then it somehow gets triggered. It's almost always related to personality type. Thrill-seekers are pretty immune, while perfectionists are more likely to get the disease. Not all perfectionists, of course, but there seems to be a relationship to that personality type and incidence of anorexia.

I thought anorexia was just when you don't eat, not to be a nit but you're talking about bulimia.
