Anorexia nervosa (AN) refers to an eating disorder characterized by individuals intentionally causing and maintaining a significantly lower body weight than normal through dieting and other means, and belongs to the category of "physiological disorders related to psychological factors" in the field of psychiatry. It is characterized by a strong fear of weight gain and obesity, extreme concern for weight and body shape, blind pursuit of slimness, significant weight loss, and often malnutrition, metabolic and endocrine disorders, such as amenorrhea in women.
