Article Summary: This website gives multiple in-detail possibilities of reasons why an eating disorder may occur. Things such as culture, family, peers, and sexual abuse. Percentages have been recorded that 35% of women with bulimia have be sexually abused. It's 8x more likely to occur if a relative has had past issues with eating disorders. Family members can as well trigger an emotional breakdown by telling a child that they need to loose weight, causing this child to have many insecurities about their body image. It's not always possible to prevent an eating disorder but the best way to try is by eating healthy and encouraging your child to do the same. From this article I have a few more further questions to research.
How do socio-economic factors influence females with eating disorders?
What could siblings or parents of patients do to help prevent eating disorders?
How do social media affect an eating disorder?
Does culture play a role in influencing an eating disorder?
What factors can affect an eating disorder?
Are there things that trigger an eating disorder relapse and if so what are they?
