| Popis: | Osteoporosis is common in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN), but ultrasound has so far been scarcely used to detect it. We measured calcaneal broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) and velocity of sound (VOS) in 26 AN girls (mean age 15.1±1.5 years) using a Cuba Clinical device (McCue Ultrasonics, UK). Basic anthropometric (body weight, height and body mass index — BMI) and clinical data (mean duration of AN, number of absent cycles, weight loss) were collected. All of the girls reported that they did at least one hour’s vigorous exercise a day. BUA was significantly lower (p |
