    Abstract:
    One-hundred-ninety-seven osteopenic or osteoporotic patients registered at the University hospital osteology outpatient clinic during 1995-1999 and exposed to glucocorticoids were included in the cohort. Prevalence of glucocorticoid treatment (of all patients) was 12.4%. The patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis showed the greatest reduction in bone density (average T-score = -2.70), fractures were most frequently recorded in patients suffering from asthma or lupus erythematodes.
