Approximately 90% of them are young women; however, middle-aged women, children, and men are also affected. The prevalence of eating disorders appears to vary by the population being studied. Recently, binge eating disorder (BED), previously considered a putative diagnosis subsumed under the category “eating disorder not otherwise specified,” was included as its own category of eating disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5). Its inclusion has changed the face of eating disorders. While anorexia (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) appear to primarily affect women, the ratio of women to men with BED is approximately 3:2. There are also significant cross-cultural differences in the prevalence and presentation of AN, BN, and BED.
