Children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis have normal volumetric BMD and geometry at the radius, but low muscle area at the forearm

Soucek Ondrej , Lebl Jan , Skalicka Veronika , Zemkova Dana , Sumnik Zdenek

Objectives: While studies in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) showed increased fracture risk and decreased bone mineral density (BMD), the results of the pediatric studies have been contradictory. Our aims were to assess volumetric BMD, bone geometry and the musclebone relation at the forearm in children with CF using peripheral quantitative CT (pQCT), and to correlate these bone parameters to pulmonary function.Methods: Fifty-three patients with C...
