Abstract
In conclusion, children with IBD are at risk for impaired bone mineral accrual. However, studies employing QCT and bone histomorphometry are needed to fully appreciate the magnitude of bone disease in pediatric IBD, as well as the implications for lifetime fracture risk and targeted therapies. Currently, the prevention of bone disease is best accomplished by providing adequate calcium and vitamin D supplementation, and encouraging physical activity. Prospective trials of therapeutic agents need to be performed to assess efficacy and safety in the developing skeleton. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. All rights reserved.
