Abnormal microarchitecture and stiffness in postmenopausal women using chronic inhaled glucocorticoids

ConclusionsPM women using IGCs had substantial abnormalities in vBMD, microarchitecture, and stiffness compared to controls. These abnormalities were most severe at the radius. These preliminary results suggest that there may be major, heretofore unrecognized, skeletal deficits in PM women using IGCs.
