We have reported lower hip bone mineral density (BMD) in adolescent boys with anorexia nervosa (AN) compared with controls. Although studies have described bone structure in girls with AN, these data are not available for boys. Hip structural analysis (HSA) using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry is a validated technique to assess hip geometry and strength while avoiding radiation associated with quantitative computed tomography.
