Abstract
Anorexia nervosa and diet-induced amenorrhea have an important impact not only on gynecological health but also on bone mass, especially if the disease is not promptly recognized and treated. This is particularly important because these conditions usually arise in adolescence, when peak bone mass is normally achieved. In this article we discuss the therapeutic issues related to bone loss associated with eating disorders.
