ABSTRACT
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) often have chronic or remittent course. Control of symptoms and disease activity often requires the administration of glucocorticoids. Osteoporosis is a frequent finding in patients with IBD. The evidence-based connection between the two conditions relies on a relatively limited number of cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. The cause of this connection has not been defined completely. Probably, both the chronic inflammation and the steroid therapy contribute to the osteopenia, through an increase in bone resorption without a compensatory increase in bone formation. There is little data regarding the efficacy of therapeutic interventions for the prevention of osteoporosis in patients with IBD. Recently, guidelines for the evaluation and treatment of osteoporosis and IBD have been published. There is need for further research on the relation between these conditions and on the efficacy of current therapy for this unique population.
