Fig. 1 Regression of the lumbar spine BMD Z-score (LBMD-Z) on the daily dose of inhaled steroid. The values shown are adjusted to control for the effects of age, sex, years of estrogen use, physical activity, current daily dose of prednisone, years of prednisone use, and cumulative lifetime dose of inhaled steroid. The lumbar spine BMD Z-score declined significantly on the daily dose of inhaled steroid (P = .013, ANCOVA).57 Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology 1998 102, 705-713DOI: (10.1016/S0091-6749(98)70007-7) Copyright © 1998 Mosby, Inc.
