However, it can also cause significant side effects, especially with higher doses and longer duration of use. Therefore, GCs should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time to minimise adverse effects. GC therapy may cause suppression of the endogenous hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and abrupt discontinuation predisposes patients to features of GC-induced adrenal insufficiency. The practice of tapering GC therapy allows for recovery of the HPA axis while minimising the risk of a disease flare-up or symptoms of AI. Moderate-to-high dose GC therapy may be tapered rapidly to near-physiological doses while watching for features of disease reactivation. Once close to the physiological dose, tapering is slower and at longer intervals to allow for recovery of the HPA axis. It is important to use short- or intermediate-acting GC preparations such as hydrocortisone or prednisolone in physiological doses, administered in the morning to mimic the endogenous cortisol rhythm. A general principle to follow is that HPA axis recovery takes longer if the period of suppression has been long. In such cases, tapering should be slower over a few months to even a year. In select cases at high risk of AI or if symptoms appear during tapering, the decision to further taper and discontinue steroids may be based on testing of HPA axis function using basal and/or stimulated serum cortisol. All patients on exogenous steroids should be advised about the need for an appropriate increase in GC doses during acute medical or surgical illness and should carry a steroid alert card to avoid adrenal crisis.</p>","PeriodicalId":13353,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism","volume":"28 4","pages":"350-362"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11451960/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142380735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Areal bone-mineral density (BMD) at lumber spine (0.940 ± 0.13 vs1.042 ± 0.15 g/cm<sup>2</sup>), femur and total body (less-head), bone-mineral apparent density adjusted for volume at the lumbar spine (0.295 ± 0.04 vs 0.319 ± 0.04 g/cm<sup>3</sup>) and height-adjusted bone density at femur (0.862 ± 0.011 vs 0.905 ± 0.011 g/cm<sup>2</sup>) were significantly lower in slum dwelling participants as compared to their NS counterparts (<i>P</i> < 0.05). After adjusting for confounders like sunlight exposure, anthropometric parameters and dietary calcium intake, area of dwelling was still a significant factor for the difference in BMD.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The potential determinants of poor bone density and geometry in girls and young women residing in slums include residential location, dietary habits, and physical activity levels. Despite adjustments for confounding factors, differences in bone health between those in slum and nonslum areas suggest adaptations developed over generations of deprivation in these individuals, necessitating urgent intervention.</p>","PeriodicalId":13353,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism","volume":"28 4","pages":"397-404"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11451963/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142380728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
