Factors affecting bone mineral density in children and adolescents with secondary osteoporosis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate the clinical factors associated with bone mineral density (BMD) among children and adolescents with osteoporosis secondary to treatment for underlying clinical conditions.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients aged 10-18 years and evaluated them for lumbar spine BMD (LSBMD) after treatment for underlying diseases, including hemato-oncologic, rheumatologic system, and inflammator y bowel diseases. LSBMD measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) performed from March 2019 to March 2021 was evaluated. We analyzed 117 patients who underwent initial DXA after treatment for underlying diseases.

Results

Subjects in this study had multiple underlying diseases: hemato-oncologic (78.6%), rheumatologic
