Research Bio
Dr. Kreipe's research centers on eating disorders - ultimately on their prevention and treatment. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia affect up to 5% of some female populations, resulting in numerous medical complications, including growth failure, pubertal delay, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis. Research based in the Adolescent Eating Disorders Program at Strong Children's Hospital is elucidating the physical effects of eating disorders on growth and development. Long-term follow-up is being conducted to determine the outcome of treatment for patients hospitalized on the Adolescent Medical Unit. Through chart review and patient interview a minimum of 4 years after hospitalization, it is possible to monitor the progress that patients make after discharge from treatment. Effects of eating disorders on cardiac pacing is being studied through computer analysis of electrocardiograms and positional changes in pulse rate.
Osteoporosis has been described in patients with anorexia nervosa. Studies of bone metabolism and density being conducted at the Clinical Research Center of the University of Rochester will clarify the factors responsible for these changes. Clinical treatment trials are being conducted.
