Recent US prevalence study for eating disorders

I've just come across a recent study of prevalence of eating disorders in the US by Hudson and colleagues. It's a community sample of over 9000 people and puts the lifetime prevalence of anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder at .9%, 1.5%, and 3.5% among women, and .3% .5%, and 2.0% among men.
This is interesting because it suggest that eating disorders are more common amongst men than was previously thought. Certainly these rates are higher that you'd find in treatment studies, suggesting that men may be less likely to access treatment - you can think of a number of reasons why this might be the case.
They also make the point that bulimia nervosa and BED seem to be increasing but anorexia does not.

For related issues, see my earlier post on how many people have eating disorders.
