Abstract

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a relatively frequent disease, associated with bone loss in a high number of patients and also with increased fracture risk. Adolescent patients can have a failure to achieve bone mass peak with a permanent bone deficit. Different factors can be involved in this AN associated osteopenia, including lack of calcium and other macronutrients, body mass composition alterations, low body weight, estrogen deficiency and in some cases excess physical activity. The objective of this paper has been to review the factors involved in the development of bone loss in patients with AN.
