Plus, the stats aren’t equal. More people have cancer than anorexia so the group is bigger. Anorexia is such a small group because most people fall into bulimia or EDNOS. So it’s only counting the people who have been diagnosed, whos weight was low enough when they were diagnosed, who had lost their menstrual cycle, etc. There are a lot of people who never lose their period. There are a lot of people who don’t get diagnosed. It’s a lot easier to fall into the cancer diagnosis than the anorexic. You would be better off going with a stat for eating disorders. Also you have to figure in the types of cancer. It’s 84 percent chance for this one person, but what kind of cancer do they have, how far along is it, what is their health? Same for those in the anorexic diagnosis. How long did they have it. How bad is it? How much nutrients are they getting? Did they ever recover? Did they also binge and purge or did they just starve? Some cancers have higher survival rate. Some don’t. And what about your chance of death everytime you get in a car. Figure out all the miles you travel in a car and where those miles are etc. Something is going to kill you whether it’s a disease, lifestyle, accident, phase, diet, whatever. YOU WILL DIE. Also, if you live past a certain age, you are far more likely to get cancer. If you live long enough you will get cancer. And men, if you live long enough you will get prostate cancer. If nothing else kills you, it’s a good chance cancer will. Or heart failure.
kayelljay94:Technically, 5 in 5 die. Everyone dies eventually. The only difference is what kills you.
One in five.Thank you for this
That’s how many anorexia sufferers die.
20%.
My friend just had someone in her family diagnosed with cancer. He has an 84% survival rate.
I am more likely to survive cancer than I am to survive anorexia.
That is how deadly this disorder is.
This is not a phase. This is not a diet.
This is life or death.
