To compare associations of current and past self-reported bone-specific physical activity, and current accelerometer-determined physical activity (PA), with bone structure (bone mineral density [BMD] and microarchitecture) in postmenopausal women with osteopenia or osteoporosis.
The objectives of this study are to assess the correlation between BMD and serum lipid levels, to determine independent variables associated with osteoporosis and osteopenia in men and postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
We divided our population into 5 groups with different phenotypes characterizing the severity of the disease and/or the severity of bone involvement: 1 - Normal BMD and body mass index (BMI): recovery from AN; 2 - Osteopenia (-2<Z-score<-1) and BMI>17kg/m<sup>2</sup>; 3 - Osteopenia and BMI≤17kg/m<sup>2</sup>; 4 - Osteoporosis (Z-score≤-2) and BMI>17kg/m<sup>2</sup>; 5 - Osteoporosis and BMI≤17kg/m<sup>2</sup>.
We investigated investigate the association between BMD and mortality, and to examine whether the rate of bone loss can predict future mortality in an elderly population.
The combination significantly improved the lumbar spine and hip BMD and reduced FRAX scores, suggesting that ZOL combined with MTX reduces bone loss and risk of hip fracture in RA patients with secondary osteoporosis.
Mean BMD was lower in men compared with women aged 50-60 years, but accelerated bone loss in women during this early post-menopausal period resulted in lower BMD values for women beyond age 60.
Faecal microbiota profiles were determined from 181 individuals with osteopenia (n = 61) or osteoporosis (n = 60), and an age- and gender-matched group with normal BMD (n = 60).
A total of 56/84 SSc patients (66%) as well as 78/98 RA patients (80%) showed bone loss at DXA and BMD was found to be significantly lower than in the CNT (P < 0.001).
We previously reported that 12months of resistance training (RT, 2×/wk, N=19) or jump training (JUMP, 3×/wk, N=19) increased whole body and lumbar spine BMD and increased serum bone formation markers relative to resorption in physically active (≥4h/wk) men (mean age: 44±2y; median: 44y) with osteopenia of the hip or spine.
The resulting 10-year fracture probabilities were assessed against the US and the UK treatment guidance to determine the amount of premenopausal BMD and TBS loss that would result in a recommendation to initiate medical treatment to reduce fracture risk later in life that would not otherwise have been recommended in the absence of premenopausal bone loss.
The aims of this study were to investigate on a population-level the association between lumbar BMD and SUA within the normal physiologic range and to determine whether SUA plays a protective role in bone loss in healthy postmenopausal Chinese women.
The estimated BMD testing interval for 10 % of patients to develop osteoporosis was 9.6 years for those with normal BMD, 7.6 years for those with mild osteopenia, 4.7 years for those with moderate osteopenia, and 2.1 years for those with severe osteopenia.
In multivariable analyses, osteopenia (OR = 4.75 95% CI 1.23-17.64) or osteoporosis (OR = 4.31, 95% CI 1.15-16.23) compared with normal BMD was significantly associated with fractures and higher T-scores at the hip were inversely associated with fractures (OR 0.73 (95% CI 0.57-0.92)).
In women with osteopeniaBMD L2-L4 YA (%) and BMD L2-L4 AM (%) were significantly higher in women with genotype AA, but BMD L2-L4 was significantly higher in women with genotype TT.
Carriers of the CIITA rs3087456(G) allele had 1.8-3.4% higher BMD and displayed increased rate of bone loss between age 75 and 80 (FN p = 0.013; total hip p = 0.030; total body p = 3.8E(-5)).
A haplotype comprising all the common alleles (frequency 9%) was associated with decreased bone loss at the hip (p < 0.05) and decreased incidence of osteoporotic fractures (p < 0.05) in DOPS and increased femoral neck BMD in AROS (p < 0.05).
Although there is a significant genetic effect on peak BMD, until recently, no substantive studies on heritability of bone loss in human were available.
