The result of our survey

We conducted two surveys related to diet and eating disorder in order to found our NGO. I'll introduce you the result of the survey about eating disorder.

First, we asked the question, “ Do you have knowledge of eating disorder?” The sum of people who answered “ Know well” and “Know” is 60%.

Next, we asked people who answered they have knowledge of eating disorder to tell what kinds of eating disorder they know. 82% of them know about anorexia, this is the highest rate, and 72% of them know about bulimia, and then only 10% of them know aboutEating disorder not otherwise specified (such as Binge eating disorder). We suggest that the information about anorexia and bulimia is spread through media like TV or magazines.

We also asked the question, “Does anybody around you have a eating disorder?” The rate of people who answered “yes” is 11%, and all of them answered their friends have eating disorder.

These results show that a few people have correct knowledge about eating disorder.

According to the two surveys we did, many people are dissatisfied with their proportion, but some of them regained their weight or hurt their health because they didn’t have right knowledge about diet. Moreover, we found that the wrong interpretation of the word “diet” has been spread. We became to think that reasons of such situations are TV or magazines, they give us many wrong information through this survey.
