PG - 62-68 LID - 10.4274/jcrpe.galenos.2022.2022-5-18 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: It has been reported that bone mineral density (BMD) is decreased in children with Celiac disease (CD) compared to their healthy peers. The aim of this study was to reveal possible risk factors for low BMD in Turkish children newly diagnosed with CD. METHODS: Eighty-six patients (2-18 years old) with CD were included in this retrospective study. The relationship between their lumbar BMD z-scores calculated according to their chronological age (CA) and height age (HA) and their clinical, laboratory [biochemical parameters, tissue transglutaminase antibody-IgA (TTGA) levels, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) types] and histopathological parameters were evaluated. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients at diagnosis was 8.06+/-4.08 years. The BMD z-score CA was -2 SD and
