It can't!!!
Not always. However research shows that you are a lot more likely to develop anorexia/bulimia if a family member is or was a sufferer.

It is considered that anorexia can sometimes have a genetic link. If a person (particularly a girl) has a diret biological family member, then it is possible that they might have a slightly higher risk of developing anorexia or other eating disorders.
There is evidence to suggest that genetics can play a role in anorexia nervosa, such as a higher risk for individuals with a family history of the disorder. However, genetics alone do not determine the development of anorexia, as environmental factors and psychological influences also play a significant role.
The scientific name for anorexia is Anorexia Nervosa.
Most of the time it starts by trying athlete diets and staying thin to run faster
In some families, a daughter's eating disorder serves as a distraction from marital discord or other family tensions
There is no definitie genetic link that confirms that anorexia is inherited. There are theories that it could be an inherited trait. Other theories propose that a likelihood may be inherited (that is, a person may be more likely than someone else to develop an eating disorder based on a predisposition to other factor-causes like depression or BDD). Many medical professionals believe that it is a "learned" behaviour. That is, people with family members who suffer from anorexia may themselves develop anorexia not because of genetics but because they copy habits or actions of family members.
No she does not have anorexia.
Anorexia is the correct spelling.
