In a study of 50 adolescent girls with low bone mineral density (BMD) and anorexia, there were no significant differences in BMD at the lumbar spine or femoral neck after 1 year in those who received oral contraceptives, compared with those who did not, Dr. Neville Golden said at the annual meeting of the North American Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology.
