   Anorexia and the Long Road to Recovery

   Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric condition characterized by a fear of weight gain and reduced calorie consumption that can result in dangerous weight loss. This condition is thought to affect around 1%-4% of all women, and those who suffer from it, or have suffered from it, are estimated to be three times more likely to die prematurely than those who have never had it. This month on Short Talks from the Hill, Megan Rosa-Caldwell, assistant professor of exercise science at the University of Arkansas, discusses her research on anorexia nervosa and how it affects muscle biology.
