Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.Objective We evaluated the role of 25‐hydroxy vitamin D, prednisone and other risk factors for bone mineral density (BMD) loss and osteoporosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods We calculated the association between 25‐hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and other potential risk factors with BMD measures (spine T‐scores) and osteoporosis ...
