If the person is anorexic for aq long peroud of time, it can cause osteoporosis in the future.
What is osteoporosis???
According to "dictionary.com", Osteoporosis means....
"a disorder in which the bones become increasingly porous, brittle, and subject to fracture,
owing to loss of calcium and other mineral components, sometimes resulting in pain, decreased
height, and skeletal deformities".
In my words, this bone disease is very dangerous because the bone becomes fragile and they
can break anytime, very easily.
"Osteoporosis and low bone mass are currently estimated to be a major public health threat for
almost 44 million US women and men aged 50 and older (News Press Room, NOF, 2006)."
Bones have to be healthy at all times!!!

I didn't know that eating disorder can cause osteoporosis.
I guess its because people who are anorexic don't eat anything to help their body.
