December 2024 in “Nutrients” The document examines the link between nutrient deficiencies and dermatologic signs in diagnosing eating disorders (EDs) like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Nutritional deficiencies, such as zinc and iron, manifest in skin, hair, and nails, aiding early ED detection. Zinc deficiency can cause alopecia, while iron deficiency leads to hair thinning.
