Yes. It is very common for other family members to be influenced or pick up on unhealthy habits seen in anorexics. This is most common in younger siblings or relatives who grow up accustomed to these unhealthy habits.

Is Anorexia inherited?

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.
