This research published by the Pediatric Rheumatology journal, has produced new guidance on how to diagnose and manage secondary osteoporosis in children.

Osteoporosis in children is becoming more common as more young patients survive chronic illnesses and are exposed to treatments that affect bone health. Changes to how childhood osteoporosis is defined, together with the absence of national guidance, have led to wide variation in clinical practice.
