The treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a skeletal condition in which bone strength is compromised leading to a propensity to fragility fractures. Osteoporotic fractures have significant consequences for both the individual, due to the resulting morbidity and mortality, and for society in terms of resource implications. …

Correlation of Osteoporosis and Obesity
Osteoporosis and obesity are two complex diseases that are prevalent in the United States. Obesity is a condition of excess body fat that exacerbates several major public health problems. Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease characterized by a reduction in bone mass. The relationship between obesity …

Potential for osteoporosis in selected dancers
Eating attitudes, serum estradiol concentration, and bone mineral density were determined for 24 contemporary college dancers and 32 nonexercising control subjects. All subjects were nonsmoking, white females, not currently taking prescribed medication and had no prior eating disorders. Data were …

Osteoporosis education in college-age women
<p>Osteoporosis, a degenerative bone disease, is a preventable disease. The purpose of this study was to determine if an educational intervention would increase knowledge and influence women to change their behaviors (i.e., exercise and dietary calcium intake) related to osteoporosis.</p> <p>A …

Exploring the impact of osteoporosis on myogenesis
… a significant decline in bone mass and strength (osteoporosis) and in muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia). These conditions pose a tremendous threat as each year, one in three older adults living in the community falls. Muscle weakness is a primary risk factor for falls and the associated …

The Role of Annexin A6 in Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a common calcium and metabolic skeletal disease which is characterized by decreased bone mass, microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue and impaired bone strength, thereby leading to enhanced risk of bone fragility. In this study, we aimed to discover a novel herbal …

Osteoporosis in elderly women; Bone traits, fracture and the PTH gene complex
… Early identification of individuals at risk for osteoporosis and fracture, enabling preventive measures and treatment is essential. Bone strength is partly dependent on lifestyle but genetic factors account for approximately 70-80%. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is the key regulator of calcium …

Hip Fracture Incidence and Prevalence of Osteoporosis in Sweden in Recent Decades
… and from 1969 to 2001, and BMD and prevalence of osteoporosis were stable between 1974 and 1999 and between 1988/89 and 1998/99. In nationwide Swedish data hip fracture incidence was stable from 1987 to 1996, after which a decrease was evident. There were evident period+cohort effects in women, …

Epidemiological investigations of biomarker and dietary relationships with osteoporosis and fracture risk
Diet may aid osteoporosis and fracture prevention as it is modifiable, but limited evidence for a role of vitamin K1, vitamin C and iron exists, despite suggestions of potential underlying mechanisms. Positive associations between these nutrients and bone health have been reported in population …

A mechanistic examination of the metabolic regulation of insulin resistance, sarcopenia, and osteoporosis
Aging is associated with a number of physiological changes, including increased risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), decreased muscle mass and strength, and decreased bone mass and bone mineral density (BMD). The aim of the studies presented were to investigate 1) the …

Genetics of Osteoporosis - Studies on bone size, structure and strength in the rat
Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased bone mineral density (BMD) leading to reduced bone strength and increased fracture risk. Several heritable components affect a bone’s ability to resist fracture, including size, structure and strength; therefore identification of the genes underlying …
