Risk factors associated with low bone mineral density and childhood osteoporosis in a population undergoing skeletal growth: a cross-sectional analytic study
Pediatric populations at risk of LBMca or cOP often have multiple risk factors, notably modifying ones such as physical inactivity. Up to 10.5% of children with risk factors present LBMca and 4.8% have an undiagnosed or unknown cOP. Longitudinal studies are warranted to understand the long-term impact of the identified risk factors, including age, sex, sedentary lifestyle, ethnicity and vitamin D status, on bone health.
