EA patients on the job and at school

EA patients on the job and at school: Not surprisingly, the eating difficulties and recurring respiratory infections do compound to create a variety of social complications for EA patients.

The following charts go into more detail:

The big take-away from the chart above is that of the 212 respondents who provided us detail on this question, just one-third said that the EA condition has had no impact on their professional or educational experience. More than one in five told us it has a “significant” impact. Not surprisingly, this has an impact for parents and caretakers as well, as the chart below reveals:
