Bone turnover markers and prediction of bone loss in elderly women
… rate of decrease of areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and incident fractures. In this study, the correlation between BTMs and rate of bone loss (change of aBMD and ultrasound variables) over 5 years was investigated in the Malmö OPRA cohort of 75-year old women (n = 506 to 601). In addition, …

Bone mineral accrual during childhood and adolescence : a critical analysis of size-correction techniques
… the measurement of areal bone mineral density (aBMD). This investigation incorporated mixed-longitudinal (distance data) and longitudinal (velocity data) designs to describe pediatric changes in bone density at the total body (TB), femoral neck (FN) and lumbar spine (LS). Maturational …

Performance Evaluation of Material Decomposition Using Rapid Kvp-Switching Dual-Energy Ct For Assessing Bone Mineral Density
… concentration measurements and DXA areal BMD (aBMD) measurements was assessed and used to develop a methodology to convert DECT concentration measurements to aBMD measurements.</p> <p>The RMS error of DECT concentration measurements made in air ranged from 9-244%. Measurements of concentration …

Physical activity and its effect on bone in the short- and long- term perspective.
… the accrual of areal bone mineral density (aBMD), include volunteers and use specifically designed osteogenic exercise programs. The aim of the prospective controlled paediatric osteoporosis prevention (POP) study is to evaluate a daily general curriculum-based exercise intervention program …

Bone health in Gambian women: impact and implications of rural-to-urban migration and the nutrition transition
… Differences in areal bone mineral density (aBMD) between rural and urban locations indicate that urban regions of high-income countries (HIC) have lower aBMD and a higher incidence of hip fracture. The few studies conducted in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) provide inconsistent …

HIV, Antiretroviral Therapy, Pregnancy, Lactation and Bone Health in Uganda
… a 2-6% decrease in areal bone mineral density (aBMD) regardless of ART regimen, but data are limited in pregnant and lactating women. Tenofovir, a preferred first-line drug in Option B+ ART regimen, is associated with 1-2% greater decreases in aBMD. Pregnancy and lactation are associated with …

Influence of Diet and Economic Factors on Bone Health
… measure of low hip areal bone mineral density (aBMD) among men and women aged 50 to 85 years (Study 1) to undertake an economic analysis of food choices for supporting bone health using the likelihood of having fewer than 20 natural teeth as the primary outcome (Study 2). Study 1 showed that …

MUSCULOSKELETAL STRENGTH, FALL AND FRACTURE RISK IN EARLY POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN
… controls, with no differences in DXA derived aBMD at the femoral neck or spine. Significance of findings: The results of these studies will help clinicians understand the normal course of functional recovery post-fracture, and assist in determining appropriate fall risk assessment and …

Forearm Loading (FAL) Study: A Recreational Gymnastics Intervention within a Physical Education Setting
… content (BMC), areal bone mineral density (aBMD), fat mass (FM), and lean mass (LM) were measured using dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Bone health was also measured using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRpQCT) which assessed total bone area (Tt.Ar), cortical …
