According to the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA), “By age 6, girls especially start to express concerns about their own weight or shape. 40-60% of elementary school girls (ages 6-12) are concerned about their weight or about becoming too fat. This concern endures through life.” Nutrition professionals can play an essential role in identifying, diagnosing and managing eating disorders, so the more you know, the better.
