ME Beksinska, I Kleinschmidt, JA Smit, TMM Farley - Contraception, 2007 - Elsevier
PURPOSE: Most studies have shown a negative effect of depot-medroxyprogesterone
acetate (DMPA) on the bone mineral density (BMD) of adolescents. There is no information
available on the effect of norethisterone enanthate (NET-EN) on BMD in adolescents and
the effect of combined oral contraceptives (COCs) on adolescent BMD is inconclusive. The
aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate BMD in adolescent (aged 15–19 years) new
users of hormonal contraception (DMPA, NET-EN and COCs). METHOD: New users of …
