Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by restrictive eating and an intense fear of gaining weight. It is a disease with an increasing incidence during the last few decades, and represents a complex psychiatric condition which includes secondary amenorrhea, nutritional and metabolic damage, and impaired endocrine panel up to bone loss as well as cardiac, gastrointestinal and hematological complications. This is a narrative review which includes an update on this eating disorder from the perspective of an endocrine panel of anomalies, especially of the skeleton, considering the pressure of the recent global COVID-19 pandemic changes. Practically affecting every organ, anorexia nervosa needs to be taken into consideration during the pandemic period because of the higher risk of relapse due to new living conditions, social distancing, self-isolation, changes in food access, more intense use of social media platforms, disruption of daily habits, and more difficult access to healthcare practitioners. The lack of physical activity in addition to vitamin D deficiency related to low sun exposure or to the use of facial masks may also be connected to further bone damage related to this disease.
神经性厌食症是一种饮食失调症,其特征为饮食受限以及对体重增加的极度恐惧。在过去几十年中,该疾病的发病率呈上升趋势,是一种复杂的精神疾病,包括继发性闭经、营养和代谢损害、内分泌指标异常直至骨质流失,以及心脏、胃肠道和血液系统并发症。这是一篇叙述性综述,从内分泌指标异常的角度,尤其是骨骼方面,对这种饮食失调症进行了更新,同时考虑到近期全球新冠疫情变化带来的影响。神经性厌食症几乎会影响到每个器官,在疫情期间需要加以考虑,因为新的生活条件、社交距离、自我隔离、食物获取变化、社交媒体平台使用增加、日常习惯被打乱以及就医困难等因素,导致复发风险更高。除了与日照不足或佩戴口罩相关的维生素D缺乏导致身体活动减少外,这也可能与该疾病导致的进一步骨质损害有关。
