Ninety-four percent had used systemic glucocorticoids (GC); the median total duration of GC treatment was 7.1 years (range 0\u201315.5 yrs). The median weight-adjusted cumulative GC dose for the preceding 3 years was 72 mg\/kg (range 0\u2013911 mg\/kg). The median bone age-corrected lumbar spine and whole-body areal BMD Z-scores were \u22120.8 and \u22121.0, respectively. Twenty-two percent had vertebral fractures, mostly thoracic. Compression fractures were associated with high disease activity, high body mass index (BMI), and high recent cumulative GC dose, but not with disease duration or BMD. Thirty percent had sustained at least 1 peripheral low energy fracture. Twenty-six percent were deemed to have significantly compromised bone health.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion.<\/jats:title><jats:p>Severe JIA is associated with a significant risk of vertebral compression fractures.
