Purpose: Anorexia nervosa (AN) increases the risk of impaired bone health, low areal bone mineral density (aBMD), and subsequent fractures. This study investigated the long-term effects on bone and biomarkers in young women with AN.Methods: Twenty-five Swedish female AN patients, median age 21.0 years (16.1 to 24.3 years), median BMI 15.4 kg/m2, were included, 22 patients completed a high-energy in-patient treatment for ...

Background: The incidence of Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is rising globally and fractures are common.Objective: To investigate bone health in young females with a T1D duration of at least 10 years in relation to healthy, matched controls.Subjects: Twenty-three Swedish females, aged 19.2– 27.9 years, with a T1D duration of ≥10 years, were recruited from the Swedish National Dia...

Purpose: Modified ketogenic diet (MKD) is one treatment option for intractable epilepsy and metabolic conditions such as glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1-DS) and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) deficiency. MKD is a less restrictive diet than the classical ketogenic diet (KD) and thus more tolerable. Childhood is an important period for bone acquisition. Some studies indicate a negative effect on bone mass during KD treatment, probably as a consequence...

Purpose: Modified ketogenic diet (MKD) is one treatment option for intractable epilepsy and metabolic conditions such as glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1-DS) and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) deficiency. MKD is a less restrictive diet than the classical ketogenic diet (KD) and thus more tolerable. Some studies indicate that prolonged KD treatment can negatively affect linear growth in children. Long-term data is missing regarding the effects of MKD ...
