Abstract
Objectives
This study aims to investigate the effects of romosozumab on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism.
Methods
In this retrospective case series, romosozumab was administered to 5 premenopausal female patients with osteoporosis and anorexia nervosa with fragility fractures. BMD and bone turnover marker changes were investigated at 6 months and 1 year after administering romosozumab.
Results
BMD increased and high-turnover bone metabolism decreased 6 months and 1 year after administering romosozumab.
Conclusions
Romosozumab is useful for treating osteoporosis in patients with anorexia nervosa.
