title: Clinical and laboratory characteristics of adolescents with both polycystic ovary disease and anorexia nervosa.
abstract: In girls evaluated for anorexia nervosa (AN), coexistence of polycystic ovary disease (PCOS) was found when menstrual irregularities existed before weight loss, cessation of menses occurred at a relatively elevated body mass index, and LH and estrogen levels were elevated compared with adolescents with AN alone. In adolescents with PCOS + AN weight gain beyond recommended weight should not be advised.
