Objective: To assess the effect of mechanical loading in anorexia nervosa (AN) in vivo, by comparing bone geometry and microarchitecture in weight bearing versus non-weight bearing bone.Subjects and methods: A total of 26 female patients with AN, and 26 female controls matched on age and height were included. Bone geometry, volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and microarchitecture were assessed using HR-pQCT (Scanco Medical, Brütisellen,...
