Automated bone age assessment in rare pediatric growth disorders: a comparative study using Deeplasia. [PDF]
ObjectiveBone age (BA) assessment is essential for monitoring growth and maturation and guiding therapeutic interventions. While deep learning (DL) models offer high-speed automated BA prediction, their generalizability to rare pathological and ...

Association of obesity and adrenal androgen levels with bone age progression in boys with premature adrenarche. [PDF]
Purpose Both premature adrenarche (PA) and obesity are closely linked to increases in bone age (BA). However, the mechanisms underlying these associations are unclear as research data, particularly in boys, are lacking.

With aging, the skeleton experiences a number of changes, which include reductions in mass and changes in matrix composition, leading to fragility and ultimately an increase of fracture risk. A number of aspects of bone physiology are controlled by genetic factors, including peak bone mass, bone shape, and composition; however, forward genetic studies ...

Chronological and Skeletal Age in Relation to Physical Fitness Performance in Preschool Children
Introduction: Physical fitness is an adaptive state that varies with an individual's growth and maturity status. Considering that the difference in skeletal maturity already existed among preschool children, this study was designed to determine the ...

With the aging of the global population, the incidence of musculoskeletal diseases has been increasing, seriously affecting people's health. As people age, the microenvironment within skeleton favors bone resorption and inhibits bone formation, accompanied by bone marrow fat accumulation and multiple cellular senescence.

Adjusting bone mass for differences in projected bone area and other confounding variables: an allometric perspective. [PDF]
The traditional method of assessing bone mineral density (BMD; given by bone mineral content [BMC] divided by projected bone area [Ap], BMD = BMC/Ap) has come under strong criticism by various authors. Their criticism being that the projected bone "area"

Bones provide mechanical and protective function, while also serving as housing for marrow and a site for regulation of calcium ion homeostasis. The properties of bones do not remain constant with age; rather, they change throughout life, in some cases improving in function, but in others, function deteriorates.
