Suggested relationships among hypoperfusion, arteriosclerosis, and malnutrition due to anorexia nervosa. The suggested relationships among dehydration, arteriosclerosis, and severe malnutrition are quite complex. Severe malnutrition in association with severe AN may induce hypoperfusion due to dehydration and arteriosclerosis in association with platelet dysfunction. Moreover, hypovolemia caused by dehydration can induce arteriosclerosis and dehydration itself may be associated with impaired endothelial function
