Height, weight, and body mass index trajectories and their correlation with functional outcome assessments in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Changes in anthropometric measures after glucocorticoid initiation are associated with COA performance and larger correlations closer to the age of loss of ambulation. This emphasizes the need for weight management strategies and discussions that support treatment.
