Description
Severe food restriction in the teen years can weaken bones and soft tissue, and the spine may bend or move in altered ways as a result. Munkh-Erdene Bayartai and co-authors measured spine posture and movement in this 2026 study of girls with anorexia. Thirty-seven patients were compared with thirty-one girls of normal weight.
A scanning tool recorded how the spine sat and how it moved in each group. Overall posture and the lower-back-to-hip ratio did not differ between the groups. Bending range in the upper back, though, was clearly reduced in the patient group. Knowing which movements shrink helps therapists target exercises and watch for lasting spine problems as weight is restored.
