NCT ID NCT02891356

First seen Dec 11, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study followed 180 people with anorexia for 4 years to track changes in bone density and understand how fat-related hormones (like leptin and adiponectin) affect bone loss. Researchers measured bone density and blood markers every two years. The goal was to learn more about why bone loss happens in anorexia, not to test a new treatment.
