Height development and multiple bone health indicators in children aged 2–12 years with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)
The high proportion and progression of short stature are associated with the broad bone health status. Different bone indicators have different sensitivities and specificities and need to be considered together for clinical monitoring of bone health. This study provides evidence for the early monitoring of height development and relevant factors as part of bone health management in DMD, to minimize the occurrence of bone-related complications later in life.
