Impact of a Physical Activity Program on Bone Mineral Density in Children and Adolescents With Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease

PROPHYSICOS
Start date: March 2, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Muscle and physical activity play an important role in in growth, development and bone health in healthy children, especially during puberty. Children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have lower level and intensity of physical compared to a control group. Several studies have shown that children with IBD have a lower bone mineral density (BMD) than general population, due to risk factors such as corticosteroid use, disease intensity, inflammation, malnutrition and a vitamin D deficiency. This low BMD is associated with an increased risk of fracture. A recent observational study found a positive and significant correlation between BMD in IBD patients and time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity for one week (unpublished data).The present study aims to show a benefit of an adapted physical activity program on BMD in children and adolescents with IBD.
