Fractures in women with eating disorders—Incidence, predictive factors, and the impact of disease remission: Cohort study with background population controls

Abstract

We confirm increased fracture risk in AN, and show significant differences in fracture risk between patients in disease remission and patients with active disease. Furthermore, we show that age at debut of disease and duration of disease before referral to treatment is positively correlated to fracture risk, whereas nadir BMI is negatively correlated to fracture risk.
