Objective. To determine a bone mineral density (BMD) changes in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) depending on demographical data, clinical and laboratory findings. Materials and methods. 42 patients (male - 36 (85,7%), female - 6 (14,3%), 21 to 47 years of age, mean age 33,2±8,4, mean disease duration 7,8±5,9 years) with proven diagnosis of AS were included in the study performed at the Centre of osteoporosis treatment and prevention. All patients were HLA-B27 positive, 23 (54,8%) had peripheral arthritis. Evaluation included back pain assessment with VAS scale, morning stiffness duration assessment, modified Schober’s test, limitation of chest expansion assessment, calculation of BASDAI, BASFI and ASDAS-CRP scores, ESR and CRP levels. To evaluate BMD all patient underwent dual-emission X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at lumbar spine (L1-L4) and hip neck. Results. Among male patients normal BMD was found in 6 (16,7%) patients, 19 (52,8%) had osteopenia, 11 (30,5%) -osteoporosis. Among male patients normal BMD was found in 1 (16,7%) patients, 1 (16,7%) had osteopenia, 4 (66,6°%) — osteoporosis. BMD at the lumbar spine in male patients was significantly higher compared to females (p
