O knihe

Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject Didactics - English - Discussion and Essays, grade: 1.7 (A-), University of Applied Sciences Wernigerode (Economics), language: English, abstract: Not much is known about how many men and women are suffering from eating disorders. However careful estimations are suggesting that about one percent of the girls aged between 12 and 20 are suffering from anorexia nervosa and about 3,5 percent of the 15 to 35 year old females from bulimia nervosa. Approximately 20 percent of the women up to 35 years of age are overweight, how many of these are suffering from an eating disorder remains unknown. Also young men are affected more and more. About 1,1 percent of the men aged between 14 and 24 have suffered from an eating disorder (Barmer).

An eating disorder is a serious illness. In this essay I would like to give a short overview over the main types of eating disorders, what disorders are, how they develop and what can be done to help sufferers. Additionally I would like to discuss a little study about eating habits and the effects done by an American college student.
