Bone Loss in Patients With Anorexia Nervosa

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Patients With Anorexia Nervosa

• Registration Number: NCT01907464
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Montpellier

Brief Summary

Nutritional deprivation of adolescent girls with anorexia nervosa (AN) reduces the bone mass acquisition. A better understanding of this process would improve the medical treatment of bone alteration and its long-term consequences.

160 patients (age \< 38 yr) with AN and 160 age-matched controls (CON) will be enrolled in this study. The areal bone mineral density (aBMD) will be determined using dual-X-ray absorptiometry. Calciotropic hormones, bone turnover markers will be concomitantly evaluated.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Dual-X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)	at Day 0 (time of the inclusion visit)	The primary outcome is to model the bone mass acquisition in young women with anorexia nervosa.

Secondary Outcome Measures
