The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that 1% of women and adolescent girls are anorexic. The percentage is much lower for men and adolescent boys, who account for less than 10% of reported cases of anorexia and bulimia, although the incidence in males is increasing. In the U.S., more than 1,000 women die from anorexia annually.
