Eating Disorders for Men Are More Common Than Expected

According to Harvard's national study of 3000 adults with eating disorders, more men are suffering from eating disorders than was thought. The study that men make up 25% of anorexics and bulimics and 40% of binge eaters. It was thought that men made up about 10% of anorexics and bulimics. Harvard's study shows that men suffer from eating disorders for the same reason that women do: fitness and size. Men are also less likely to seek help with their eating disorders.
