Eating disorders are relatively rare among the general population. This review discusses the literature on the incidence, prevalence and mortality rates of eating disorders. We searched online Medline/Pubmed, Embase and PsycINFO databases for articles published in English using several keyterms relating to eating disorders and epidemiology. Anorexia nervosa is relatively common among young women. While the overall incidence rate remained stable over the past decades, there has been an increase in the high risk-group of 15-19 year old girls. It is unclear whether this reflects earlier detection of anorexia nervosa cases or an earlier age at onset. The occurrence of bulimia nervosa might have decreased since the early nineties of the last century. All eating disorders have an elevated mortality risk; anorexia nervosa the most striking. Compared with the other eating disorders, binge eating disorder is more common among males and older individuals.
进食障碍在普通人群中相对较少见。本综述讨论了进食障碍的发病率、患病率和死亡率的文献。我们使用与进食障碍和流行病学相关的几个关键词，在在线 Medline/Pubmed、Embase 和 PsycINFO 数据库中搜索了发表在英文文献中的文章。神经性厌食症在年轻女性中较为常见。尽管过去几十年中总体发病率保持稳定，但15-19 岁女孩的高危人群发病率有所上升。目前尚不清楚这是否反映了厌食症病例的早期发现或发病年龄更早。自上世纪 90 年代初以来，神经性贪食症的发生可能有所减少。所有进食障碍的死亡率都较高；神经性厌食症最为显著。与其他进食障碍相比，暴食障碍在男性和年龄较大的人群中更为常见。
