Anorexia can and does affect the whole body. There is weight loss, which is visible. The hair can become thin and fall out. Nails become brittle and discolored while skin becomes dry. Malnutrition leads to weakened bones/osteoporosis and anemia of the blood from low iron. Anorexia also weakens internal organs like the heart and kidneys.
