Anorexia

Anorexia is an eating disorder characterized by an irrational fear of gaining weight -- even when dangerously thin. As this eMedTV article explains, anorexia can lead to severe health risks, including cardiac arrest, brittle bones, and brain damage.

There are many long-term effects from anorexia, and bone loss is one of the most common. In this section of the eMedTV library, the link between anorexia and bone loss is discussed, including the causes and treatment.

Anorexia and Bulimia

Anorexia and bulimia are eating disorders associated with drastic measures to lose weight, such as avoiding food or purging food. This page of the eMedTV library defines anorexia and bulimia, and provides links to more detailed information.
