Background Abnormal linear growth and deficient bone mineral acquisition may coexist in
children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Traditionally, bone mineral assessment by
dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) involves comparison to age-and gender-matched
reference ranges, and these studies in children with IBD show a high prevalence of

Abstract
Background
Abnormal linear growth and deficient bone mineral acquisition may coexist in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Traditionally, bone mineral assessment by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) involves comparison to age-and gender-matched reference ranges, and these studies in children with IBD show a high prevalence of osteopenia.
Aims
To compare the prevalence of osteopenia using two methods of interpretation; one adjusted for age and gender and the other adjusted for bone size and gender.
