Question

identify three long-term effects of anorexia.

a. obesity
b. sensitivity to cold
c. starvation
d. hair loss

Explanation:

Anorexia is an eating disorder with severe long - term health impacts.

• Sensitivity to cold: Anorexia can lead to a low body weight and reduced body fat, which impairs the body's ability to regulate temperature, causing sensitivity to cold.
• Starvation: Since anorexia involves self - imposed starvation due to extreme restriction of food intake, this is a long - term effect as the disorder is characterized by inadequate caloric intake.
• Hair loss: Malnutrition from anorexia (lack of essential nutrients like proteins, vitamins, etc.) can disrupt the normal hair growth cycle, leading to hair loss.

Obesity is not a long - term effect of anorexia as anorexia is associated with extreme weight loss, not gain.

Answer:

B. Sensitivity to cold, C. Starvation, D. Hair loss
