Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder which occurs most frequently in adolescents and young women. It is characterized by fear of obesity and consequent self-starvation in the pursuit of thinness resulting in marked weight loss and amenorrhea1,2. It is associated with many complications, involving almost all the organs of the body. Several reports indicate that some patients have asymptomatic osteopenia and a few of them develop fractures3,4,5,6,7. We investigated bone mass and the relationship between bone mass and soft tissue compartment measurements in adolescent patients with anorexia nervosa. |
