BACKGROUND: The effects of long-term glucocorticoid (GC) treatment on bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) remain controversial.
OBJECTIVES: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate BMD in relation to genotype, growth, vitamin D status, cumulative GC doses, and other relevant factors in youths with CAH.
METHODS: Thirty-two patients with classical CAH (13 males; mean age 26.0 ± 7.1 years) were compared with 32 healthy controls matched by age and sex. BMD was measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, and statistical analyses, including the Mann-Whitney U-test and Spearman's correlation coefficient, were performed to evaluate differences and associations.
RESULTS: Median whole-body and lumbar BMD Z-scores were similar between CAH patients and controls (p = 0.27 and 0.15, respectively). Low bone density was observed in 12.5% of CAH patients and 18.75% of controls (p = 0.5), and osteoporosis was confirmed in 12.5% of CAH patients and 0% of controls (p = 0.04). BMD did not correlate with cumulative GC doses, estradiol, renin, phosphate, sodium levels, or anthropometric parameters in CAH patients. There was no significant difference in BMD between severe and non-severe genotypes of CAH. However, a positive correlation was found between the whole-body BMD Z-score and growth velocity during infancy (r = 0.776, p = 0.021) in CAH patients. Vitamin D deficiency was noted in 56.25% of CAH patients, although vitamin D levels did not correlate with BMD or genotype. No history of bone fractures was reported among study participants.
CONCLUSIONS: CAH patients are at risk of developing osteoporosis, but in this study, BMD Z-scores were not associated with cumulative GC doses. The study did not identify an association between genotype and BMD. Poor growth during infancy was linked to decreased BMD in adulthood.
