Avoidant/restrictive food Intake disorder (ARFID) is a condition characterized by lack of interest in eating/food, sensory sensitivity and/or fear of aversive consequences of eating. It is associated with low weight and undernutrition, which can lead to medical complications. Specifically, low weight in patients with ARFID raises concerns of impaired bone health. In this study, we compared bone mineral density (BMD), a measure of bone health, in 14 low-weight females with ARFID and 20 healthy females 10­23 years old. We also examined the association between BMD and peptide YY (PYY), a hormone that induces satiety and inhibits bone formation. A strong negative association between bone health and PYY was previously reported in females with anorexia nervosa. Thus, we hypothesized a similar association in low weight females with ARFID. We found that BMD may be lower in low-weight females with ARFID than in healthy females and that higher PYY levels are associated with lower BMD at some but not all sites. We concluded that bone health may be a concern in low-weight females with ARFID. This finding is important as low BMD raises concerns for increased fracture risk, which in turn could have a detrimental effect on quality of life.
