The aim of this study was to assess bone mineral density (BMD) using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in a group of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and the factors which have an impact on bone mass. Also, a subgroup of patients not treated with anti-osteoporotic or disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs was followed for 24 months to assess potential influencing factors on BMD changes.
