Individuals with anorexia nervosa no longer have an appetite to eat is a false statement.

Explanation:

The term anorexia in anorexia nervosa (eating disorder) means loss of appetite. However, this loss of appetite is not directly induced by the disorder.

This disorder is typically characterized by hunger and self-starvation to lose weight by an individual. The increased desire to lose weight continuously by an anorexic individual makes him/her to lose interest in food so as to avoid it and unintentionally develop a lack of appetite.

The lack of appetite may also be due to other underlying unknown medical conditions developed due to starvation, depression (due to not reaching weight loss goals), unnatural or sudden weight loss leading to heart or kidney ailments etc.
