Description

Abstract: The number of adolescents affected by Anorexia Nervosa (AN) has been on the rise during the Covid-19 pandemic. AN hs been proven to be associated with several health complications due to severe energy restriction - including a weakened immune system; however, less is known of the direct impact micronutrient deficiency on immune function in patients with AN. This purpose of this review is to evaluate whether micronutrient deficiency is the main cause for immune dysfunction in patients with AN and analyze the current information available regarding this topic in hopes of opening a new field of research. By conducting secondary research through the usage of google scholars with the keywords “mircronutrient deficiency” “immune dysfunction” and “aorexia nervosa”, it was found that several research yielded contradicting results. Thus, a conclusion as to whether micronutrient deficiency is the sole cause of immune dysfunction could not be made due to inconsistent data and lack of information available in regards to this topic.

Keywords: Micronutrient Deficiency, Immune Dysfunction, Anorexia Nervos.
