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. People with anorexia often have low body weight, which can lead to hormonal imbalances. One of the hormones affected is estrogen (in females). Estrogen plays a crucial role in bone health. Low estrogen levels (due to anorexia) can cause a decrease in bone density. Over time, this makes the bones weaker and more prone to fractures. Dehydration is more associated with conditions like excessive vomiting (which can be in bulimia, but not the main long - term issue in anorexia). Nervous system problems can be due to many factors, but not as directly and highly associated as bone fractures in anorexia. Schizophrenia is a completely different mental disorder (a psychotic disorder) not directly linked to anorexia nervosa.

Answer:

bone fractures
