Changes in trabecular bone score and bone density in female adolescents with anorexia nervosa: a longitudinal study.

Impaired bone health is a common complication of anorexia nervosa (AN). We aimed to assess longitudinal changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS), a measure of bone quality, in female adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN). We conducted a retrospective longitudinal study of 41 female adolescents with AN who underwent two dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans.

Trabecular Bone Score in Children and Adolescents With Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.

Introduction: Trabecular bone score (TBS) is a textural index that evaluates bone microarchitecture of the lumbar spine. Our aim was to assess TBS in children with inflammatory bowel diseases and to evaluate correlations with clinical, laboratory and densitometric variables.

Methods: A retrospective study of TBS and areal bone mineral density measurements by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of children with either Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC).
