1. Introduction
“Pro-ana” websites are sites that Amrubicin promote anorexia and advise people how to maintain the disorder (Yom-Tov et al., 2012). These websites are usually visited by individuals with an eating disorder (Lyons et al., 2006 and Knapton, 2013). Indeed, around a third of patients with eating disorders have used these websites (Christodoulou, n.d.).
The aim of the current study is to explore the characteristics of people who participate in different pro-anorexia web communities and the differences between them. We hypothesized that different pro-ana web communities vary with regard to their users\' profiles and behaviors, and may explain the apparent differences between websites (Juarascio et al., 2010).
2. Methods
Several sources of data were used in internodes study, as detailed below. If the same person appeared in two datasets, investigators had no way of identifying the same user in both datasets. This was done to maintain the privacy of users.
