Any man or woman of any age can develop anorexia nervosa. We have
noticed certain patterns and common behaviors and backgrounds in the
women who have come through The Victorian over the years, but the fact
is that:

There is no "typical anorexic girl"

There are numerous exceptions to every rule

We have seen more instances of men suffering from anorexia in recent
years

The studies we've conducted point to anorexia being especially common
in young women between the ages of 18 and 25. This demographic
represents approximately 40% of all the cases of anorexia we've
treated. We have seen anorexia in seniors as well, and it is possible
for anorexia nervosa to develop in older men and women for the first
time well into their 40s, 50s, or even 60s.
