prepubertal children with asthma. Forty‐eight asthmatic, prepubertal children receiving …

Little is known about the effect of long‐term treatment with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on
bone mineral density (BMD) in asthmatic children. In the present cross‐sectional study BMD …

Background Both slowed growth in children and reduced bone mineral density (BMD) are
systemic effects of corticosteroids, and there is concern about the degree to which these …
