The media may also be a significant influence on eating disorders through its impact on values, norms, and image standards accepted by modern society. Both society’s exposure to media and eating disorders have grown immensely over the past decade. Researchers and clinicians are concerned about the relationship between these two phenomena and finding ways to reduce the negative influence thin-ideal media has on women’s body perception and susceptibility to eating disorders.

I suppose facts and figures help determine the best way for the medical profession to approach research into finding solutions to health problems and diseases.

Jen: It’s hard to find a human trait that isn’t partially influenced by genetics and/or family history (sometimes psychological rater than physiological). When I see these results, though, I wonder if the information is at all useful to the many people affected by the disease.

BTW, thanks for your comment!

Interesting, I have always thought that it is somewhat genetic but I didn’t know that it was a fact.
