Are there any statistics on magazines that contribute to men's eating disorders?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No stats yet, but: Many articles are pointing the finger at the advertizing industry. The increase in male "ideal" skinny models in magazines seems to be leading to increased numbers of men seeking treatment. Here's a good article about this phenomenon: http://life.Nationalpost.Com/2013/01/21/anorexia-hitting-men-increasingly-hard-one-in-three-cases-in-new-study-is-male/.
