MICROSCOPIC COLITIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH DECREASED BONE DENSITY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS

Although, microscopic colitis (MC) can be considered as spectrum of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), MC is very different in many aspects; in terms of risk factors, symptoms, course of disease, treatment, and complication. Low bone mineral density (BMD) is previously known as complication of IBD. There are few data about MC and risk of bone density loss. We conduct this systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the association between MC and low BMD.
