Tuesday, March 15 Italy celebrates the fifth “Day lilac Fiocchetto ” on the delicate issue of eating disorders .
An opportunity, the day today, to bring home to boys (and especially girls) suffering from eating disorders and parents that you can get out of it, but only if together you become aware of the need for a close collaboration even with psychologists, nutritionists and specialists in internal medicine .
the initiative began a father who in March of 2011 saw the death of his daughter bulimia at the age of 17 years and that, as President of the Association “I thrive on life” in Genoa, has given birth to National day of “Fiocchetto Lilla”, a symbol of the delicate fragility of this youth condition.
causes eating disorders are not well defined and certainly not unique, but multifactorial, ie including both psychological and biological factors.
eating disorders can seriously affect the health of all organs and systems of the body (cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, endocrine, hematologic, skeletal, central nervous system, dermatological, etc..) and lead to death. Cases of bulimia are nervous about 5% and all other eating disorders 6%. However, this increase is not confirmed by sufficient evidence (prospective studies are lacking in particular).
The event in Parma is sponsored by the Directorate for Health Policies of the Emilia-Romagna region, Azienda Health Trust and University Hospital of Parma, from the municipalities of Parma, Borgo Val di Taro, Fidenza, Fontanellato, Noceto, Pellegrino Parmense, Sala Baganza, adhering to the national campaign “Coloriamoci Lilac ” lighting a fountain or a municipal monument. In Rome there will be a meeting at the District of Santa Maria della Pieta, from 14.00 to 18.30 to be attended by representatives of institutions and non-profit organizations.
