Hello kivo-ga,
According to the National Eating Disorders Association:
"In the United States, conservative estimates indicate that after
puberty, 5-10 million girls and women and 1 million boys and men are
struggling with eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia, binge
eating disorder, or borderline conditions."

Based on the current U.S. population of approximately 280 million,
that means that about 2-4 percent of the U.S. population has an eating
disorder.
