Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prevalence rates of eating disorders vary widely depending on the population studied and the methodology used. However, choice D, which reports that 1.5% of young women aged 15-24 reported having an eating disorder, is more in line with the prevalence rates commonly reported in the literature for specific age and gender demographics, especially considering the narrower age range and focus on a high-risk group. Other options report higher prevalence rates that may not accurately reflect the general population or specific demographics.
