A study of bone density change in patients with anorexia nervosa

Abstract: In patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) several factors combine to cause osteoporosis, and the risk of osteoporosis increases with chronicity of illness. The authors carried out a follow-up study in patients who attended the Eating Disorders department of the Hospital de Santa Maria. The average follow-up period was of 7.6 years. Fifteen patients were included. Patients answered clinical history questions and underwent neck of femur and spine densitometry. The most important variable with negative correlations … Show more

“…Both subtypes can have serious medical consequences, including effects on both bone and oral health. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Previous studies suggest that a low bone mass is common in adolescent girls and young women with AN and that it may occur early in the course of their disease, compromising peak bone mass. As a result, AN may increase the risk for osteoporosis and fracture throughout life.…”

“…As a result, AN may increase the risk for osteoporosis and fracture throughout life. 2,3 Unlike many healthcare practitioners, dentists and dental hygienists typically see patients on a regular basis, and often for the duration of a child or adolescent's lifetime. Therefore, these providers have the unique opportunity to be the first to detect clinical evidence of an eating disorder.…”

“…The average follow-up period was of 7.6 years. The most important variable with negative correlations to bone mass recovery was disease duration (do Carmo et al, 2007). A positive correlation between bone mass recovery and the return of regular menstrual cycle was evident.…”

“…A positive correlation between bone mass recovery and the return of regular menstrual cycle was evident. However, in anorexic patients when body weight improved and menstrual cycles became regular, severe damage to bone structure was still likely to be maintained (do Carmo et al, 2007). Table 6.…”
