Anorexia Epidemiology Forecast 2024-2032

Anorexia Epidemiology Forecast Report Coverage

Expert Market Research's “Anorexia Epidemiology Forecast Report 2032” offers comprehensive information on the prevalence and demographics of Anorexia. It projects the future incidence and prevalence rates of anorexia across various populations. The study covers age, gender, and type as major determinants of the Anorexia-affected population. The report highlights patterns in the prevalence of anorexia over time and projects future trends based on multiple variables.

Anorexia: Disease Overview

Anorexia is one of the most common eating disorders that is characterized by food and calorie restriction, distorted body image, and fear of gaining weight. It can impact anyone at any age and is more prevalent in women than in men. Women are reported to have anorexia three times more than men. It is also estimated that men make up nearly 20% of the total population with anorexia.

Anorexia nervosa has two subtypes: restrictive and binge-purge. People with the restrictive subtype of this eating disorder severely limit the amount of food they eat whereas individuals affected by the binge-purge subtype exhibit binge-eating and purging episodes.

Anorexia: Treatment Overview

Treatment for anorexia typically relies on a combination of supervised weight gain and talking therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a popular treatment option that usually includes weekly sessions for up to 9 to 10 months where the therapist helps the patient cope with their feelings and understand the harmful consequences of starvation. The clinical severity of the condition and the rising disease burden are pushing the development of both behavioral and pharmacological treatments. Moreover, there is a rising interest in neurostimulation and neuromodulation devices as potential therapeutic methods.

Epidemiology

The anorexia epidemiology section offers information on the patient pool from history to the present as well as the projected trend for each of the 8 major markets. Expert Market Research provides both current and predicted trends for anorexia by examining a wide range of studies. Additionally, the report covers the diagnosed patient pool for anorexia and its trends. The data is broken down into specific categories, such as total prevalent cases in males and females, and total diagnosed cases across different age groups and patient pools.

• According to the review by van Eeden, Annelies E et al. (2021), the overall incidence of anorexia is reported to be fairly stable over the last few decades. However, the incidence among people aged less than 15 years has witnessed an increase. Further, the lifetime prevalence rates of anorexia are estimated to be up to 4% among females and 0.3% among males.
• The Beat (formerly Eating Disorders Association), a registered charity in England and Wales, states that eating disorders are commonly found among adolescents. However, anorexia cases are also reported in children as young as 6 and older women in their 70s, which indicates that people can develop anorexia earlier or later in life i.e., outside of the stereotypical age bracket.
• A 2017 study by Hay et al revealed that anorexia accounts for 8% of all cases of eating disorders.
• According to the American Anorexia and Bulimia Association, the United States is believed to be the country with the highest incidence of eating disorders, with nearly 1000 women dying every year due to anorexia.

Country-wise Anorexia Epidemiology

The anorexia epidemiology data and findings for the United States, EU-4 (Germany, Spain, Italy, France), the United Kingdom, Japan, and India are also provided in the epidemiology section.

The epidemiology of anorexia varies between countries owing to factors such as cultural, societal, genetic, and healthcare differences. In the United States, around 30 million individuals will be affected by an eating disorder at some point in their lifetime, out of which anorexia is reported as one of the most prevalent disorders. Various studies also indicate that the diagnosis rate of anorexia nervosa is 3 times higher in women than in men in the region, comprising 0.3% of the population for men and 0.9% of the population for women.
