Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry May Not Be Sensitive Enough To Measure Changes In Regional Fat After Acute Exercise
… changes in total and regional body fat using Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). There is limited research about the change in body fat after an acute bout of physical activity. Knowing how body composition changes as a result of exercise is important for populations with symptoms of metabolic …

Association of Proximal Femoral Geometry with Osteoporotic Proximal Femur Fracture in Elderly Koreans
… mineral density (BMD) and femoral geometry using dual X-ray absorptiometry (Lunar Prodigy DXA system, GE, Healthcare). RESULTS: Hip axis length (HAL) was significantly higher in those with proximal femoral fracture, and femur strength index (FSI) was significantly lower in the fracture group. The …

Using quantitative ultrasound for epidemiological research : associations with risk factors for low bone mineral density in South African premenopausal women
… Although only moderately correlated with dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) at the hip and spine, quantitative ultrasound has shown to be a reliable predictor of osteoporotic fracture. This study aims to evaluate the use of QUS in epidemiological …

Muscular Strength Training Modifies Regulation of Bone Remodeling: Inferences From Serum Biomarkers in Young Women
… arm and leg flexor and extensor muscle strength. Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures of bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) of the total forearm, total tibia, and total body also were assessed. The mean serum OPG concentration increased from 4.6 + 1.9 pmol/L to 5.2 + 2.1 …

Effect of isokinetic resistance training on ulnar stiffness in young, college-aged women
… and bone mineral density (BMD), measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry are used clinically to diagnose osteoporosis and estimate risk for fragility fractures. Bone mineral explains up to 70% of bone strength; however, it does not take into account bone geometry. Mechanical Response Tissue …

The Effect of a Probiotic Supplement on Insulin Sensitivity and Skeletal Muscle Substrate Oxidation during High Fat Feeding
… eucaloric control diet, subjects underwent a dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to determine body composition, an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) to determine insulin sensitivity, a skeletal muscle biopsy for measurement of substrate oxidation. Serum endotoxin was also measured. …

MUSCULOSKELETAL STRENGTH, FALL AND FRACTURE RISK IN EARLY POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN
… quantitative computer tomography (pQCT) and dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Results: Fall-risk status (strength, balance, mobility) gradually improved over the first year post-fracture, with balance confidence remaining high even immediately post-fracture. In the second study, women with a …

A Small Change Approach on Adiposity, Lean Mass, and Bone Mineral Density in Adults with Overweight and Obesity: A Randomized Controlled Trial
… mass, and bone mineral density were measured by dual-x-ray absorptiometry. The study found that changes in total adiposity were significantly greater in SCA than UC at 6 and 12 months but did not remain significant at 24 months (mean change SCA [SE] -0.8 [0.4] vs. UC -0.7 [0.4] kg; difference …

An Evaluation of the Limitations of the Technique of Dual Energy Absorptiometry in the Measurement of Bone Disease.
… rapidly in the last 15 years from Single Photon Absorptiometry to Dual Photon Absorptiometry (DPA) and currently Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA). This study examines the results from patients scanned on both Novo Lab 22a (DPA) and Hologic QDR 1000 (DEXA) machines used at this hospital and gives …

Searching for Celiac Disease Screening-detected celiac disease in an HLA-genotyped birth cohort
… studies have revealed that most affected individuals go undetected because of subclinical signs or being asymptomatic rendering screening a method for identification. However, less is known about subclinical manifestations of screening-detected celiac disease during childhood and if these …
