The present health information system does not yield data concerning prevalence and morbidity incidence. The evaluation was made for the 1979-1995 period. Hospital treatment rate was calculated and characteristics of the differences between sexes, age groups and timing of the phenomenon were estimated. According to International Classification of the Diseases (ICD-9) the disorder was observedas Anorexia nervosa (307.1).
