A member asked:
At what adult age does anorexia nervosa no longer occur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No limit: Anorexia mostly begins early in life (teens and twenties), but can begin at any age and is usually a relapse of a previous episode. Most anorexics i've seen struggle with weight issues on/ off. It is a serious disorder and should be evaluated and treated by a professional.
