Abstract:Group I had higher uDPD/uCr values (p < 0.05) compared to group II and group III (40.49 ± 11.1 vs 30.7 ± 16.3 and 24.78 ± 10.54). No differences were observed in other bone markers among all groups. The dietary calcium intake was adequate (> of EAR, Estimated Average Requirement) in only 19% of children, but no differences in both LS and TB BMD were revealed. Nevertheless, children with inadequate calcium intake had significant increased (p < 0.05) ALP/ bALP, compared to the rest of patients. Summary/Conclusi… Show more
