CONCLUSION
The study shows that the teenagers that suffer from anorexia have precarious self-esteem and display a number of nutritional deficiencies.
It has been observed that teenagers follow very strict diets, poor in nutrients, that are often combined with physical exercise, occasional purging by self-induced vomiting and/or laxative or diuretic abuse, with the purpose to lose weight.
