Anorexia nervosa is defined as “a mental disorder characterized by weight
loss leading to body weight being below 85% of ideal body weight, intense
fear of weight gain, self-evaluation highly influenced by the perceived
weight and shape, and absence of at least three consecutive menstrual
cycles not related to other gynecological problems (American Psychiatric
Association as cited in Chan & Ma, 2002, p. 50). |
