Question

which long - term health effect is highly associated with a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa?
bone fractures
dehy - dration problems
nervous system problems
schizophrenia

Explanation:

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder. Prolonged malnutrition (common in anorexia) leads to low estrogen levels (in females) or low testosterone levels (in males). This hormonal imbalance impairs bone - building processes. Over time, bone density decreases (a condition called osteopenia or osteoporosis), making bones more fragile and increasing the risk of fractures. Dehydration is more acute and can be managed with fluid intake. Nervous system problems are not as specifically and highly associated as bone issues. Schizophrenia is a separate mental disorder not directly linked to anorexia nervosa in terms of long - term effects.

Answer:

bone fractures
