The National Youth Agency: Fact of the week: statistics on youthissues

Up to one per cent of young women in the UK between the ages of 15 and 30 suffer from anorexia nervosa, and between one and two per cent suffer from bulimia nervosa. As many cases of eating disorder are unreported, the true figures may be higher. In the younger age group (seven to 14 years), up to 25 per cent of cases are boys.
