Retrospective longitudinal study of osteoporosis in adults with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa

This retrospective study looks at bone mineral density of people with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa as assessed by dual ‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry. Data were collected in 34 patients aged 16‐35 years. Statistical analysis showed immobility, low body mass index, and pubertal delay was associated with osteoporosis.
