Anorexia can lead to muscle wasting and joint problems due to severe malnutrition and lack of essential nutrients. The body breaks down muscle tissue for energy when it doesn't receive enough calories, resulting in weakened muscles and decreased strength. Additionally, inadequate intake of calcium and vitamin D can weaken bones, increasing the risk of fractures and joint pain. Overall, the physical strain from malnutrition can lead to increased susceptibility to injuries and chronic pain in the joints and muscles.
