8 million Americans have some sort of eating disorder.
one in 200 American wemen suffer from anarexia.
10 - 15% of people with anarexia or bulimia are male.
anorexia is the 3rd most cronic illness among adolecence.
50% of girls between 11 and 13 see themselfs as over weight.
only 1 in 10 people with eating disorders receive treatment.
About 80% of the girls and wemen who have care for their eating disorders didn't get the intencity of treatment they need and are often sent home earlier than the recomended recovery time.
95% of people with eating disorders are between the ages of 12 and 25.
18% of 13 year olds have attempted to loose weight.
