Anorexia as a new phenomenon for society is seen from both positive and negative sides. The article reveals the aspects each of them. Arguments are presented to support the position that anorexia in 20th century acts as a social problem, a disease, an inhumane attitude to oneself. The relevance of a comprehensive study and prevention of anorexia among young people is presented based on available statistical data. An approach to the concept of anorexia as an object of applied statistical research is justified. The enlarged groups of factors affecting the scale of its spread and the intensity of its development are determined. The authors proposed and justified an original system of indicators of anorexia statistics, revealing the essence of the studied social phenomenon according to the logic of “distribution – structure-consequences”.
