Abstract
followed fluticasone propionate (n=2, 28.6%). One is on high dose budesonide (>800 µg/day), 1 medium dose budesonide (> 400-800µg/day), 3 low dose budesonide (200-400 µg/ day), 1 high dose fluticasone (>500µg/day) and 1 patient low dose fluticasone (100-250µg/day). Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are widely used in the treatment of asthma but their safety on bone density is controversial. 1 Bone mineral density (BMD) is assessed by DEXA - dual energy radiologic absorptiometry (osteodensitometry) - performed at the proximal femur and lumbar spine levels. The absolute BMD values and the T-score (femoral neck, total hip and lumbar spine) should be taken into account in postmenopausal women and in men over 50 years of age (T-score≥-1:normal; -2.5
