Teens Starving Themselves To "Look Better"

relatively new to .org (as you can tell by my join date), i'll try to put a decent amount of effort into this thread.
if not satisfactory please leave suggestions in the replies


Introduction

During the ages of 14–18 is a crucial period of establishment of the body’s lifelong foundation: boys lay down tremendous bone mass and go through hormonal maturation (precisely increasing testosterone and a maturing hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis). Starving (excessive caloric restriction or chronic poor energy) at this stage steals from the body the energy and nutrients it requires running those growth processes.

The result is disruption of the usual secretion of hormones and bone accumulation at the very time those systems are maximally subject to alteration producing both acute illness outcomes (fatigue, bone breaks, delayed puberty) and increased subsequent risk of brittle bones and hormonal malfunction.


Evidence

Peak bone mass is built in adolescence, missing it matters.

Peak bone mass is achieved in adolescence and makes a difference. The majority of bone is established by the end of the second decade of life; bone mass attained in the teenage years (peak bone mass) is a principal determinant of future lifetime risk of fracture and osteoporosis. Without sufficient calories, protein, calcium and vitamin D, a teenage boy may never meet his genetic potential for bone mass.

Low energy availability reduces bone formation and raises fracture risk.
Low energy availability reduces bone formation and raises fracture risk. Chronic undernutrition (intentional or secondary to an eating disorder) causes a state, referred to as low energy availability/Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S). RED-S slows down bone formation, alters bone remodeling and is associated with a heightened prevalence of stress fractures and suboptimal bone mineral content in young and adolescent sport males included. During the phase of rapid growth, such bone accrual defect is especially deleterious.

Hormonal disruption in males: testosterone, growth and the HPG axis.
Hormonal disruption in males: testosterone, growth and the HPG axis.
Adequate energy and body fat are cues required for normal hypothalamic and pituitary activity. Severe or chronic caloric restriction reduces systemic testosterone and is capable of blunting pulsatile LH/FSH activity. Low testosterone in teenage males reduces muscle and bone anabolism, may slow down sexual maturation, and decreases the hormonal stimulus necessary for bone mineralization.

Conclusion
Withholding food from yourself between the ages of 14–18 is dangerous for males because it interferes with the two intertwined processes that are typical of male adolescent health: rising sex hormones (specifically testosterone) and bone accretion. The immediate effects are weak energy, slowed/abnormal pubertal development, less muscle mass and higher bone fracture risk; the later effect is the possible existence of an enduringly lower peak bone mass and higher lifetime risk of osteoporosis and bone fracture. If yourself or someone you care about is restricting food, it’s very important to seek help from an adult you trust and a health care worker (pediatrician, sports medicine expert, or dietitian) timely assessment and appropriate nutrition may prevent long-lasting harm.
