- Abstract
Although the pathogenesis of osteoporosis in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is not established, vitamin D deficiency and disturbances in calcium metabolism are thought to be of importance, especially in Crohn disease (CD). Vitamin D status is assessed and the relation between indices of calcium metabolism, including 25-hydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone concentrations. and bone mineral density (BMD) in CD and ulcerative colitis (UC) are examined. Sixty patients with CD and 60 with UC were investigated. Each group comprised 24 men and 36 women.
