Abstract
The prevalence of osteopenia/osteoporosis is higher in patients with IBD (mainly those with Crohn's disease) than in the general population. Changes in bone metabolism seem to be more closely related to the inflammatory activity of IBD than to the steroid dose per se. Bone turnover markers did not correlate with the presence of osteopenia and osteoporosis.
