How common it is:
Studies show a rate of about 1.5 percent of the U.S female population, and 0.5 percent of the male population have experienced bulimia in their lifetimes. These percentages translate to 4.7 million females, and 1.5 million males. This disorder can occur in a person as young as 6 years old, as well as elderly people. Research also shows that bisexual + gay men are at the greatest risk for this, and so are men in sports because sports like wrestling and boxing have a preference for lean body types.
