Two new studies focus on vulnerabilities for developing eating disorders, which strike about two percent of the population. One spotlights a new risk factor that may be beyond our control but merits further study. The other uncovers a behavior that can mask an eating disorder such as anorexia and bulimia.
If you suspect someone you know has a eating disorder, such as anorexia or bulimia, you can find information and referrals to therapists, physicians and other health professors from a non-profit, the National Eating Disorders Association (or call the toll-free helpline, 800-931-2237).
