  ABSTRACT: Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental illnesses known to occur. Eating disorders directly cause 10,200 deaths each year, which is one death every 52 minutes. About 9% of the global population is affected by eating disorders at some point during their lifetime. This paper aims to provide a better understanding of the factors that contribute to the onset of eating disorders. Specifically, we examine biological factors, such as genetics, family history and the neuroscience behind eating disorders; furthermore, we explore psychological factors including other mental health conditions and their correlation, personality traits and behavioral risk factors; lastly, we consider social factors related to the onset of eating disorders, such as childhood and social environment, the media, and demographic factors.
