To compare bone mineral density in patients with juvenile-onset Systemic lupus erythematosus and healthy controls.
Serial bone mineral density measurements in 27 patients with juvenile-onset systemic lupus were compared to 97 healthy age-matched controls.
All patients with juvenile-onset had low bone mineral density scores at initial assessment that progressed over disease course. Low body mass index was independently associated with a decline in bone mineral density Z scores; disease activity, use of immunosuppressive agents and vitamin D levels were not risk factors.
Patients with juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus have low bone mineral density.
比较青少年起病的系统性红斑狼疮患者与健康对照者的骨密度。
对27例青少年起病的系统性狼疮患者的系列骨密度测量结果与97例年龄匹配的健康对照者进行比较。
所有青少年起病的患者在初始评估时骨密度评分均较低,且在病程中呈进展趋势。低体重指数与骨密度Z评分下降独立相关;疾病活动度、免疫抑制剂的使用和维生素D水平均不是危险因素。
青少年起病的系统性红斑狼疮患者骨密度较低。
