ABSTRACT. Objective. Children with sickle cell dis-ease (SCD) experience poor growth, altered body compo-sition, and delayed maturation. Deficits in bone mineral content (BMC) and bone area (BA) have not been well characterized. The objectives of this study were to assess whole-body BMC (WBBMC) and WBBA in children with SCD, type SS (SCD-SS), compared with healthy control subjects, adjusted for growth and body composition, and to determine the relationships of WBBMC and WBBA to bone age and hematologic parameters in children with SCD-SS. Methods. WBBMC, WBBA, and lean mass were mea-sured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry in children who were aged 4 to 19 years. Growth, sexual develop-ment, and bone age were assessed.
