Loss of bone mineral density in premenopausal women with systemic lupus erythematosus

OBJECTIVE--To evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) in premenopausal patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS--We measured BMD by dual energy x ray absorptiometry at lumbar vertebrae L2-4 and at the right femoral neck in 74 premenopausal white patients (mean age 30.8 years) with SLE w...
