Bone marrow fat markers in anorexia recovery
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how bone marrow fat changes in women with anorexia nervosa compared to those who have recovered and healthy controls. It may help doctors understand the link between anorexia and bone health.
