Yes: Eating disorders that are severe enough to cause your period to stop can lead to thin bones "osteopenia" which are more easily fractured. Get help for your problem. See your doctor or therapist.

Possibly: Good nutrition as well as regular exercise play important roles in bone health.

Maybe : Your diet is certainly not good fro you and could contribute to osteoporosis but plenty of 35 year olds break ankles when and if the fall on it hard enough you need help re your diet abnormality and a possible work up for osteoporosis also a vit d level.

Likely contributed: I'm glad you're recognizing there can be connections between 1 problem and others when it comes to health issues. Nutritional deficiencies are only 1 risk related to eating disorders, and many can be serious. Reccomend talking with a primary care doctor about your overall health, and with counselor about eating and related issues.
