• Bone mineral density and quantitative ultrasound in adults with cystic fibrosis.

  Flohr F, Lutz A, App EM, Matthys H, Reincke M. Eur J Endocrinol. 2002; 146 (4): 531-6

  With increasing life span osteoporosis becomes a more recognized problem in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). The aim of this cross-sectional study in 75 adult patients with CF (mean age 25.3 years) was to assess the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and, for the first time, by quantitative ultrasound (QUS), and to identify predicting factors.
