Accepted Answer

Anorexia is the eating disorder characterized by the compulsive fear of gaining weight and the resulting restriction of food intake leading to significant weight loss. Gender stereotypes related to beauty standards and body image can contribute to the development and perpetuation of anorexia, as society often portrays thinness as idealized and desirable for women.
