 Many students entering post-secondary institutions will already be experimenting with safe dieting methods; however, 35% will progress to pathological dieting, and of those, 20-25% develop partial- or full-syndrome eating disorders.Cases of partial-eating disorders may become spontaneously remised, while a subset transition into a full disorder.According to a report by the National Eating Disorders Association, eating disorders typically occur between the ages of 18–21, with 10-20% and 4-10% of American college women and men being affected, respectively.
