Card 0 of 2
According to the American Psychological Association, a binge eating disorder occurs when a person experiences frequent outbursts of out of control eating. Unlike other disorders, such as bulimia, binge eaters do not purge their bodies of excess calories, which can result in high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and issues associated with obesity. Which of the following best describes the prevalence of binge eating disorders in males versus females?
It is true that eating disorders primarily effect females; however, contrary to media depictions of eating disorders, males are still considered to be an at-risk population. About a quarter of preadolescent cases of anorexia occur in males. Likewise, the prevalence of binge eating disorder is about the same in males and females.
