Prevalence of Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are more prevalent than most people (and health professionals) think:
Five percent of women in Canada have experienced an eating disorder before reaching adulthood (Eating Disorders in Adolescents: Position Paper of the Society For Adolescent Medicine, 2003)
Thirty to eighty percent of eating disorder patients with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa engage in unhealthy exercise, referred to as excessive exercise or compulsive exercise. (Shroff, 2006 & Davis, 1997)
Negative exercise behaviours and cognitions often precede the onset of an eating disorder. As well, excessive exercise in eating disorders, is a predictor of poor outcome, relapse (Strober, 1997) and longer inpatient treatment. (Solenberger, 2001)
