Background And Objective: There is some controversy over bone mineral density (BMD) in children and teenagers with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). We evaluated BMD by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and correlated it with anthropometric, biochemical and hormonal parameters related to bone metabolism.
Patients And Method: Sixty-six patients with DM1 (26 males and 40 females) aged between 3 and 17 years, and 327 controls with a similar age were studied.
