Bone Health Study
Effects of Anorexia Nervosa on Peak Bone Mass​

A study for 14-22 year old females with Anorexia Nervosa

No Longer Accepting Volunteers
Study Aim

 

Our goal is to determine whether a combination of estrogen (a hormone that has been proven to prevent bone loss) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (a hormone that increases bone formation) improves bone density in adolescent girls with anorexia nervosa. 

 

This is a 12-month treatment study.
