Diet > World Statistics on Dieting Statistics kept on people with eating disorders are few as many people with eating disorders do not report the condition unless it becomes life threatening and leading to the problem being very much under-estimated. The average American woman is said to weigh 144 lbs and wears between a size 12 and 14 and yet almost 50% are dieting on any given day as any over size 12 do not meet the fashion requirement. Models who twenty years ago weighed 8% less than the average woman, today weigh 23% less. The BBC, Time, News Week and the Canadian Medical Association Journal have published some information as summarized below:
Anorexia is the Number one killer of teenage girls and in total more than 90% of those with eating disorders are adolescent young women In a study of girls aged 9 to 15, slightly more than half reported exercising to lose weight, slightly less than half reported eating less to lose weight, and approximately 1 out of 20 reported using diet pills or laxatives to lose weight. 15% of girls who suffer from anorexia will DIE from it. That's 2 in 10 and up to 20% of Anorexics die by 20 years of age. 1 out of 10 males have an eating disorder and one Million boys and men struggling with eating disorders and borderline eating conditions About 40% of people with Anorexia Nervosa will later develop Bulimia. Many individuals suffering from bulimia will die from either starvation, cardiac arrest, other medical complications, or suicide and it is estimated that at least 50,000 individuals will die as a direct result of their eating disorder! Compulsive eating is not just one of the eating disorders, it is the MOST COMMON eating disorder, often resulting from an inability to resolve emotional distress. 41% of "normal dieters" progress to pathological dieting. Eating disorders have no age, sex, or race boundaries or limits!
