Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cultures that value larger, fuller body sizes, such as some Pacific Islander communities and African-American cultures, tend to have lower rates of anorexia and bulimia. This is because the cultural ideals surrounding body image in these communities do not prioritize thinness to the same extent as in many Western cultures, where there is a stronger association with thinness and beauty, potentially contributing to higher rates of these eating disorders.
