A study shows that people with underweight  have a higher risk for developing Alzheimer's than people with normal nutritional status. Furthermore, the researchers found that people who were underweight in middle age were 34% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia, aka senile, than people with normal nutritional status.

Brittle bones or osteoporosis are more likely to occur in people who severely limit their eating.
