Bone Mineral Density in Children and Adolescents with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

Table 4

Pearson correlation between height 𝑍-score, hydrocortisone dose and BA less CA, and BMD 𝑍-scores with 𝑃 value.

	TB 𝑍 CA	TB 𝑍 BA	LS 𝑍 CA	LS 𝑍 BA
Height 𝑍-score	0,53 (0,046)	0,35 (0,208)	0,26 (0,357)	−0,10 (0,708)
Hydrocortisone dose	0,49 (0,086)	−0,48 (0,091)	0,44 (0,130)	−0,42 (0,145)
ΔBA − CA	0,48 (0,079)	−0,45 (0,099)	0,40 (0,148)	−0,41 (0,144)

TB 𝑍 CA: total body BMD 𝑍-score to CA, TB 𝑍 BA: total body BMD 𝑍-score to BA, LS 𝑍 CA: lumbar spine BMD 𝑍-score to CA, LS 𝑍 BA: total body BMD 𝑍-score to BA, BA: bone age, and CA: chronological age.
