Abstract

Objective: the aim of this work is to assess the effect of asthma and its therapy on bone mineral density in children. Patients and methods: thirty asthmatic children and adolescent, their ages ranged from 7-15 years and 15 apparently healthy age and sex matched children were enrolled in the study. All asthmatic patients were on inhaled corticosteroid therapy for at least 6 months duration. Patients and controls were subjected to full history taking, meticulous clinical examination and laboratory investigations; including serum calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase. Determination of bone minerals density of the lumbar spine by dual energy X-ray absorpiometry (DXA) method at L2 - L4 levels of lumbar vertebrae. Results: showed that height was higher among controls (143.5±12) compared to patients (133.6±11) with statistical significant difference. The study revealed that patients had lower bone mineral density (0.61±0.11) and lower z-score (-2.08±0.5) when compared to control (0.69±0.13) and (-1.4±1.8) respectively with statistically significant difference P<0.05. Conclusion: Bone mineral density was reduced in asthmatic children.
