This source is very helpful and informative because it categorizes each aspect of BDD. One aspect this source covered that others have not is the relation between Body Dysmorphic Disorder and race, age, and sex. Although there have not been many studies over this view of BDD it is definitely interesting. This source shows that there is no known relation between race and BDD. Obviously the most common age for BDD to occur at is the adolescent years. Also, BDD effects men and women equally in symptoms and effects.
