Genetics: Heredity plays a role. Eating disorders often aggregate in families. Studies of twins reveal that genetic factors account  for 40 to 50 percent of eating disorder risk factors,  including teen anorexia,  teen bulimia, and teen binge-eating disorder. Brain Functioning: There is  a connection between eating disorders and  brain functioning. Imaging studies have linked  eating disorders to irregular brain activity patterns. Perfectionism: A recent study linked  eating disorders to perfectionism in teens. For some teens, eating disorders are  fueled by parental expectations and  rigid thinking patterns.

Eating disorders disproportionately affect  teens: These disorders are  most prevalent in those between the ages of 12 and 25 

Every 62 minutes, at least one person dies  as a result of an eating disorder. The high death rate associated  with anorexia is what makes  eating disorders the deadliest of all mental illnesses. A review of nearly 50 years of research confirms  that anorexia nervosa has  the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder. 

Anorexia statistics for teen girls and  young women are especially alarming:  For females between 15 and 24 years old who suffer  from anorexia nervosa, the mortality rate associated  with the illness is 12 times higher than the death rate of all other causes of death. While the mortality rates for bulimia and  binge eating are not as high as for anorexia,  these eating disorders also have  a significant impact on overall health.

"The model of putting kids in the hospital,  which excludes parents, or of professionals expecting  young adolescents to manage  their own eating without their parents' help when they're  immersed in anorexic thinking,  really should be reconsidered." —James Lock, MD, PhD, Stanford University researcher
