We still have much to learn about BMD problems in @entity1277 . Much progress has been made in the past 10 years; most clinicians and many @entity1 and their families are now aware of the problem. More research is crucial, however, the authors suggest focusing on three areas: 1. Treatment and prevention: Such studies are difficult to conduct for similar reasons to the difficulties in conducting treatment trials of therapy for @entity1278 . First, the relative rarity of the condition makes it difficult to recruit subjects; second, drop-out rates are higher because of ambivalence; and third, the population is heterogeneous both in terms of symptoms and cause. 2. Better understanding of bone turnover in @entity1278 . More studies are needed to examine turnover of bone in @entity1 with @entity1278 using biochemical markers. In particular, prospective studies are needed to examine the effects of refeeding, @entity1017 , and treatments such as @entity460 supplementation. 3. Long-term course of bone density. It would be particularly instructive to examine this in individuals with a short or long history of @entity1278 . It would also be useful to study @entity1 approaching menopause who had an episode of @entity1278 in their teens or early twenties compared with @entity1 who were of normal weight during this period.
