Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
Over the past 25 years my research has focused on the medical complications of adolescents with eating disorders. My specific area of study has been the etiology and implications of amenorrhea in adolescents with eating disorders, in particular the management of reduced bone mass and osteoporosis in anorexia nervosa.
I have studied growth retardation and structural brain changes in anorexia nervosa; vital sign instability and nutritional rehabilitation in malnutrition secondary to eating disorders; the use of indirect calorimetry in the management of eating disorders; factors associated with resumption of menses in anorexia nervosa; and the use of both hormone replacement therapy and the bishosphonates to treat reduced bone mass in anorexia nervosa.
