Inhaled corticosteroid use during childhood may reduce volumetric bone mineral density in the radius at school age

Aim Corticosteroids have harmful dose‐dependent effects on bone metabolism and growth. This study used a new method for volumetric measurements to evaluate the association between inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) for asthma and bone mineral density (BMD) in school‐aged children. Methods We evaluated children hospitalised for wheezing at the age of
