any idea?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Why would a chronic infection affect bone density?


TIA.

What's being infected? Lungs, GI, Diabetic related extremities? Could it be lower dietary intake of Calcium/Vit D? Lack of weight on bones due to bed rest. (Normal osteoclast activity with lower osteoblast activity.) Just some thoughts.
