Bone mineral density of eating disorder subgroups

Article Abstract:

Spinal bone mineral density (BMD) is less in white female patients suffering from anorexia nervosa due to food restriction and anorexia nervosa with bulimic nature as compared to the control females or white females with bulimia nervosa. Some eating disorder subgroups, and control group and eating disorder subgroups have varying spinal BMD. Good predictors of spinal bone density in anorectic women were duration of amenorrhea and exercise. Anorectic women left without treatment may develop osteoporosis in old age.

Hyperintense subcortical brain alterations in anorexia nervosa

Article Abstract:

Two patients diagnosed with anorexia nervosa were made to undergo structural brain imaging to re-examine whether changes in brain structure do occur among anorexia nervosa patients. Supported by clinical history and a literature review, results showed that the two patients did exhibit evidence of subcortical hyperintense changes on T2-weighted images as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging.
