Screening Study
The Neuroendocrine Unit of Massachusetts General Hospital is
conducting research studies on anorexia-induced bone loss. Our
screening study is for men aged 18-45 who suffer from anorexia
nervosa. We are investigating the prevalence and predictors of
osteopenia in the spine, hip, wrist and total body. The research
study includes a bone density test, hormonal evaluation, and
nutritional assessment at no cost, and it involves one visit of
approximately 2.5 hours. If interested, please call Karen Miller, MD
or Nicole Macomber, NP at (617) 724-7393 or email them at
