Osteoporosis after long‐term corticosteroid treatment of giant cell arteritis

Abstract. The mineral content of the heel bone, and signs of osteoporosis on X‐ray of the spine, were evaluated in 26 patients (20 women and 6 men) with giant cell arteritis (GCA), treated with prednisolone for an average period of 5 years. The mean age was 78 years (range 66–95 years). These results were compared with those obtained from a large population study of individuals aged 72, 75, 82 and 85 years.
