【明報專訊】一名21歲女子疑患上厭食症致體重僅餘約50磅，昨日在黃大仙    竹園南鸷寓所不支昏迷，家人發現大驚報警求助，女事主由救護車送院，情危殆。

患厭食症女事主姓廖，21歲，送院時體重剩餘約50磅，瘦骨嶙峋、嚴重營養不良，一度情危殆，經搶救後情嚴重。

消息稱，廖女與家人同住竹園南鸷富園樓某室，原本體重90多磅，疑患上厭食症，近月體重劇降只剩餘約50磅，經常暈眩不適，嚴重營養不良達危險線。昨晚約9時，疑廖女體力不支昏迷，家人發現她呼吸非常微弱，大驚報警送院救治。

有專家指出，差不多逾九成進食失調症患者也是由減肥引起，因近年時下非常流行纖體，不少廣告也大力鼓吹「瘦即是美」，令減肥成風，一些價值觀仍未確立的青少年便很容易受廣告和朋友影響，認同瘦即是美而減肥，但部分人可能因過度減肥，以致患上進食失調症（厭食症或暴食症）。



50 lbs for a 21-yr-old... why did that to herself...  isn't life and health are the top priority?!

Apparently she is still living at home... She maybe normal at 90 something lbs at the age of 21 because she's only 5 ft tall (don't know, just assuming)... but 50 something lbs is just irrational... can't the family see something going on there?!  I think even 70 something lbs is pretty obvious to tell... that's how much elementary school kids weight!!

Right. Don't know why the family didn't notice way beforehand.  I thought she would look like skeleton at 70lbs already.
