The reasons undoubtedly relate to genetics as well as to environmental factors. These reason also could be expected, however, to relate to the limited understanding of eating disorders.

While the primary victim of eating disorders still appears to be females, there is undoubtedly some intersex overlap in the factors causing the condition. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
