What percentage of models have anorexia?

There is no scientific consensus on the exact percentage of models who have anorexia. However, studies suggest that the rate of eating disorders among models is higher than the general population. A 2004 study by the National Institutes of Health found that 12.7% of models had anorexia nervosa, while a 2006 study by the University of Cambridge found that 21.7% of models had an eating disorder.

It's important to note that these studies only looked at a small sample of models, and the results may not be representative of the entire modeling industry. Additionally, the definition of "anorexia" can vary, and some studies may have used more stringent criteria than others.

While the exact number of models with anorexia is unknown, there is evidence that the modeling industry can contribute to the development of eating disorders. The pressure to be thin can lead some models to adopt unhealthy eating habits, and the constant scrutiny of their bodies can make it difficult for them to maintain a healthy self-image.

It's important for the modeling industry to take steps to protect models from developing eating disorders. This can include providing access to mental health resources, educating models about the dangers of eating disorders, and promoting healthy body image.
