“…The bulk of bulimia risk research has been conducted with adolescent girls around the peak age of onset, which is estimated to be age 16 for binge eating (Day, Schmidt, Collier, Perkins, Van Den Eynde et al, 2001; le Grange & Loeb, 2007; Stice, Marti, & Rohde, 2013) and age 18 for purging (Stice, Killen, Hayward, & Taylor, 1998).
