Study Summary

Decreased bone strength is a common and serious medical problem present in many women with anorexia nervosa, or disordered eating. Women with decreased bone strength are more likely to suffer broken bones than women with normal bone strength. We are investigating whether a hormone that is naturally produced by the human body -- parathyroid hormone (PTH) -- can help strengthen the bones of women with anorexia nervosa.

Primary Outcome

Percent increase or decrease in lumbar spine bone mineral density between baseline and 6 months (treatment period)

Interventions

  • DRUG Placebo
  • DRUG Teriparatide
