First seen Dec 11, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study looked at 180 people with anorexia nervosa to understand why they lose bone density. Researchers measured bone mineral density and checked levels of fat-related hormones like leptin and adiponectin every two years for up to six years. The goal was to find connections between these hormones and bone loss, which could help explain the risk of osteoporosis in anorexia patients.
