“…Despite the high prevalence of low BMD in ED (particularly in AN), there is no consensus regarding pharmacological prevention of osteopenia or osteoporosis. Guidelines are currently limited to preventative nutritional interventions and pharmacological interventions within the advanced phases of ED when damage has already occurred . The true extent of reduced BMD and risk for osteoporosis and fracture among people with ED is not known.…”
People with AN have reduced BMD, increased odds of osteoporosis and risk of fractures. Proactive monitoring and interventions are required to ameliorate bone loss in AN.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
