  • Emaciation occurs when an organism loses substantial amounts of much needed fat and often muscle tissue, making that organism look extremely thin. The cause of emaciation is a lack of nutrients, starvation, or disease. Many women (and some men) have targeted the emaciation look, and such is the result of eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia.
