Low bone mineral density in adult patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis
British Journal of Dermatology, 08/18/09

Haeck IM et al. – The authors document a Z–score <= -1 in about one–third of predominantly male patients with moderate to severe AD, being independent of the cumulative dose of topical and corticosteroids used within 5 years prior to study. Whether the relatively high prevalence of low BMD is due to the cumulative dose of topical corticosteroids beyond 5 years prior to the study or the chronicity of the underlying inflammatory process or a combination of these, remains to be established.
