changes in cultural norms and concepts of feminine beauty, illnesses previously thought to be rare in Asian societies might be
becoming more prevalent. Various similarities to presentation of Anorexia Nervosa in western countries were found. A brief
overview of Anorexia Nervosa in Asia is also described.
