Explanation:

• Question 16: Eating disorders like anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, etc., involve extreme behaviors (e.g., severe restriction of food intake, binge - purge cycles) that can lead to organ damage, electrolyte imbalances, and in severe cases, death.
• Question 17: Vegetarian diets often include more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. These food groups are rich in dietary fiber.
• Question 18: Anorexia nervosa is characterized by self - starvation and an intense fear of gaining weight. Compulsive overeating is more associated with binge eating disorder.
• Question 19: Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated as \(BMI=\frac{weight (kg)}{height(m)^{2}}\). A BMI below 18.5 is considered underweight, which is outside the healthy BMI range (18.5 - 24.9 for adults).
