Bone Mineral Densitometry Findings of Children with Newly Diagnosed Celiac Disease

摘要

Objective: The effect of Celiac Disease (CD) on children’s bone is the decrease in bone mineral density (BMD). Osteoporosis is a consequence of this decrease and usually manifests in adult ages. Studies in CD patients generally show that bone density of these patients can be different at the same ages for the same duration of disease. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between age and bone mineral density of CD patients at first diagnosis.
