[quote=Anonymous]Being extremely thin is associated with lower estrogen levels and osteopenia (low bone density) and osteoporosis. Thin women should be tested for bone density and do exercises to strengthen bones. I am thin, at my college weight at 46 years of age, but I eat about 1500 calories a day to stay at this weight and plan to keep doing so indefinitely. I went through a couple of chubby periods in my life, once in puberty and once after my second child was born and I had trouble losing the pregnancy fat, and I did not enjoy them, hence my resolution to stay thin. They say that thin women show age in the face more than plump women because of wrinkling, but plump women also tend to look older because of the association of weight gain with old age. A lot of it is genetics. I have good skin and never had plump cheeks to begin with, so no jowls here. People often mistake me for late 30's in age. [/quote]
