Antiepileptic Drug-Induced Bone Loss in Young Male Patients Who Have Seizures
Arch Neurol 59:781-786, Andress,D.L.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Long-term AED therapy in young male patients who have seizures causes significant bone loss at the hip in the absence of vitamin D deficiency. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scanning of the hip is useful in identifying patients who are pa rticularly susceptible to rapid bone loss while taking AEDs.
