Effect of the long‐term use of inhaled corticosteroids on bone mineral density in asthmatic women

Objective: Inhaled corticosteroids have become a key element in the maintenance treatment of bronchial asthma. Recent studies have shown that administration of inhaled corticosteroids is associated with evidence of derangement in bone turnover. Therefore, we studied the bone mineral density (BMD) of asthmatic women receiving long‐term inhaled corticosteroids and compared them with healthy individuals matched for age, sex, menopausal status and body mass index.
