NEWS FROM THE NUTRITIONIST
National Eating Disorders Awareness Week is February 26 - March 4, 2006. Eating disorders are serious and costly illnesses that cannot be ignored. Here are some important facts about such disorders:
-In the United States, eating disorders are more common than Alzheimer's disease (as many as 10 million people have eating disorders compared to 4 million with Alzheimer's disease).
-Research dollars spent on eating disorders averaged $1.20 per affected individual, compared to $159 per affected individual for schizophrenia.
-Anorexia nervosa has the highest premature mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder. The majority of deaths are due to physiological complications.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please refer to Student Health Services <http://www.studentaffairs.cmu.edu/healthservices/> or the National Eating Disorders Organization <http://www.NationalEatingDisorders.org/> .
