Comparison of Hip Geometry, Strength, and Estimated Fracture Risk in Women With Anorexia Nervosa and Overweight/Obese Women

Abstract

Femoral geometry by HSA, hip BMD, and factor of risk for hip fracture attenuated by soft tissue are impaired in AN and superior in obesity, suggesting higher and lower hip fracture risk, respectively. Only attenuated factor of risk was associated with fragility fracture prevalence, suggesting that variability in soft tissue padding may help explain site-specific fracture risk not captured by BMD.
