Bone mineral status in 134 patients with cystic fibrosis.
AIM To investigate bone mineral status in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). PATIENTS AND METHODS Whole body bone mineral content (BMC), projected bone area, and bone mineral density (BMD) were determined by dual energy x ray absorptiometry in 134 patients with CF and compared with 396 healthy controls. RESULTS In patients </= 19 years of age, BMD for age was normal in boys and marginally ...
متن کاملLow Bone Mineral Density and Associated Factors in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis: A Cross-Sectional Study

AIM To investigate bone mineral status of children with cystic fibrosis (CF). METHODS In 29 children with CF and 49 matched controls, bone mineral content (BMC), projected bone area (BA), and areal bone mineral density (BMD) of the whole body, total hip, and lumbar spine (L1-L4) were measured using dual energy x ray absorptiometry. The BMC values at each site were adjusted for BA, height, and...
متن کاملNormal bone mineral density in cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis has been reported as a complication of cystic fibrosis (CF). AIMS To measure bone mineral density (BMD) in non-acutely ill adults and bone mineral content (BMC) in children with CF. METHODS We analysed data from 28 adults and 13 children with CF. Corticosteroid use was minimal for the year prior to study in both groups. Dual x ray absorptiometry was used to measure t...
