Australia Records the Highest Rates of Anorexia and Bulimia in the World
Published
A global study has found that Australia has the highest rates of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa in the world. According to the study's estimates, there are 1,026.5 cases for every 100,000 people in the country.
Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are serious eating disorders. People with anorexia usually eat too little because they are afraid of gaining weight. People with bulimia, on the other hand, often eat large amounts of food in a short period of time, then deliberately try to get rid of the food.
The source article provides only a brief summary of this study. Further details, such as the methods used, the duration of the study and the other countries involved, are not stated in the report received.
The study does not mention Malaysia directly. However, it shows that eating disorders are a health issue that occurs in many countries and can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender.
