UNASSIGNED: This study aims to describe @entity170 screening in adults with @entity306 ( @entity306 ) and identify any associated factors. @entity79 ( @entity79 ) was often lower than expected-for-age in these adults, and present even in young adulthood, particularly at the spine. Low @entity79 is frequent in adults with @entity306 . INTRODUCTION: This study aims to describe the feasibility of dual-energy X-Ray absorptiometry (DXA) screening in adults with @entity306 ( @entity306 ) and identify factors associated with low @entity79 ( @entity79 ), including longitudinal changes. METHODS: A retrospective chart review study of these adults seen at an urban academic rehabilitation clinic and who underwent DXA scan(s). @entity79 and Z-scores for the lumbar spine, hips, and femoral (neck and total) were recorded. The change in @entity79 and Z-scores from baseline to follow-up DEXA, Gross Motor Functional Classification System (GMFCS), @entity306 pattern (hemiplegic, diplegic, or @entity1688 ), body mass index (BMI), and transfer and ambulation status were assessed. RESULTS: Forty-two @entity1 (83  % less than age 50  years) had at least one DXA. Seventeen had at least two studies, 15 without pharmacologic interventions between studies. Thirteen @entity174 in eight subjects were noted, most often lower limb. Fifty percent of spine studies in individuals under 50 had a Z-score of less than -2, while 25 and 30.8  % of these individuals had such scores at the right and left total hip sites, respectively. Need for transfer assistance was associated with lower @entity79 and Z-scores at all hip sites, but not the lumbar spine. Progressive abnormalities were seen at follow-up DXAs at some sites, however these were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Lower than expected-for-age @entity79 was very frequent in adults with @entity306 with mobility limitations, present at both spine and hip sites. Low BMI and need for transfer assistance had a negative impact on @entity79 . Although not statistically significant, @entity66 was seen at follow-up for DXAs Z-scores at some sites, which suggests longitudinal studies in this population are needed.
