Correct Answer » D Explanation |
 |
D. It is more common in adult females than adolescent females
- Clinical Reasoning for the Correct Answer:
– Anorexia nervosa most commonly begins during adolescence, with peak onset between ages 14 and 18 years.
– It is far more prevalent in adolescent females than in adults, although it can persist or onset in adulthood.
– Therefore, stating it is more common in adult females than adolescent females is incorrect.
