ANS: C
Bulimia nervosa typically begins in adolescence or during the early 20s, usually in conjunction with a diet. High school and college students, as well as members of certain professions that emphasize weight and/or appearance (e.g., dancers, flight attendants, cheerleaders, athletes, actors, models), are at a high risk. Based on these descriptors and the typical characteristics of a person who has bulimia, the 15-year-old cheerleader demonstrates the greatest risk.
