Anorexia nervosa is a serious eating disorder that affects a significant proportion of adolescents, although it can influence individuals of various ages and genders. It is considered a critical condition due to the severe risks it poses to both physical and psychological growth and development. This disorder manifests itself through excessive restriction of food intake, intense fear of weight gain, and distorted body image. Treatment of anorexia nervosa in adolescents requires a comprehensive approach that includes specialized nutritional interventions. The article reviews current strategies in the nutritional approach to adolescents with anorexia nervosa, focusing on recent research from the past four years to provide an updated view on best practices in the nutritional management of this condition. Anorexia nervosa is often a long-term disorder with a variety of psychophysiological and nutritional manifestations. Some patients may die from suicide or physical complications, with sudden death from cardiac arrhythmias being a common outcome. This disorder is not directly related to disease duration or age, but is associated with a body mass index (BMI) below 12 and very low serum albumin levels.
