Evolutionary Explanations of Anorexia
- Reproduction success hypothesis
- AO1
- Wasser and Barash
- By supressing reproduction until future conditions for the survival of their offspring are
highly likely to be better, females can optimize their lifetime reproductive success
- When there are poor environmental conditions, delay until pregnancy would
