  16. Epidemiology • Which one is more prevalent?? AN or BN or BED

  17. EPIDEMIOLOGY….. • PREVELENCE: AN is the least prevalent ED, affecting aprox. 0.3 % young adult females. BN affect aprox. 1 % of young adult females and BED affect aprox. 2.6 % of young adults.

  18. Demographics • Which gender is more likely to have which ED…

  19. DEMOGRAPHICS • Typically affect young adult females with 85 to 95 % of cases of AN and BN and approximately 60 % of cases of BED occurring among females.

  20. Onset • What start early, AN / BN / BED

  21. ONSET • AN is slightly earlier than BN, both generally begin in adolescence, however both can occur at much older age. • Onset of BED tends to be slightly later, generally beginning in late adolescent or early twenties.

  22. Mean age of onset for AN is 17 with a bimodal peak at ages, 12 and 18, onset after 40 is un common.

  23. SOCIOCULTURAL FACTORS. • Reported all over the globe, but more prevalent in industrialized and or/ Westernized societies. Several epidemiologic studies have linked immigration, modernization and urbanization to risk.

  35. PHYSICAL AND LAB FINDINGS • VITAL SIGNS: Bradycardia, hypotension, hypothermia. • CVS: QTc widening, CHF, Edema, Dehydration, Orthostasis, Impaired perephral circulation. • GI : Impaired motility, Elevated LFT’s, Elevated serum amylase, Erosion of tooth, Mallory Weiss Syndrome.

  36. Hematological : Pancytopenia, leukopenia, anemia) • Renal: Calculi, Elevated BUN • Endocrine: Decreased T 3 and T 4, Decreased Estrogen in females and Testosterone in males. • Musculoskeletal : Osteoporosis, wasting.

  37. Dermatological: Dry yellow skin, lanugo hair, hair loss, calluses on dorsum of hand ( Russell Sign). • Nutritional Changes: Electrolyte disturbances, parotid gland enlargement. ( Chickmuck face )

  38. WORKUP • Complete physical and psychiatric exam. • Lab studies • Psychological Testing ( MMPI, Eating Attitudes Test, Eating Disorder Inventory )

  40. COMORBIDITY • BN ( variable ) • Substance Use ( 26%) • MDD ( 50- 75 %) • Anxiety ( 50- 75 %) • Personality D/O ( up to 50 % )

  41. TREATMENT • GOALS: Restore and maintain at least a minimal adequate body weight, reduce complicating factors, improve the willingness to correct the anorexia through therapy.
