What evidence exists to support the notion that bulimia nervosa may be more of a culture-bound syndrome than anorexia nervosa?

Individuals born after 1960 are at greater risk for the disorder, suggesting that bulimia nervosa is a more modern disorder than anorexia nervosa. Some believe it reflects the trend beginning in the 1960's toward thinner cultural ideals of beauty. It also tends to be more common in urban areas, suggesting social learning, environmental exposure, or information transfer may play a role in the development of the disorder. Anorexia nervosa, by contrast, has been identified as existing even in ancient cultures and psychologists are unsure as to whether or not we are seeing an actual increase in the rate of cases or the incidence of the disorder is remaining stable. There is no mention in the text that anorexia nervosa trends are reflective of a particular culture or that increases in incidence rates are related to specific time period within a culture.
