Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) often have low bone mineral density (BMD) for their chronological age (CA). However, pediatric cases frequently have growth failure and delayed bone age (BA) and height age (HA). Do they really have the amount of osteoporosis as measured by BMD and calculated for t

## Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a prevalent genetic disorder in which sickle hemoglobin leads to tissue hypoxia and adverse effects on bone. Published studies suggest that children with SCD often have undiagnosed osteopenia or osteoporosis. Minimal data exist on the prevalence of low bone
With dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), it is possible to quantitate important aspects of growth in children with cystic fibrosis (CF), supplementing the usual measures of height and weight. Of particular concern during growth is the accumulation of bone mineral, since osteoporosis and fractur
## Background: In children with inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) it is not known whether reductions in bone mineral density (bmd) are a consequence of bone turnover alterations and if bmd improves with treatment. ## Methods: In a cohort of children with ibd, we prospectively measured indicators o
There is evidence to suggest that the inflammation associated with Crohn's disease (CD) impacts the bone health of patients, predisposing them to early onset osteoporosis and increasing their risk of fracture. Fractures have been documented in patients with CD, with a high proportion of these being
