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.
