Impact of degenerative radiographic abnormalities and vertebral fractures on spinal bone density of women with osteoporosis

São Paulo Medical Journal, 2002
CONTEXT: Measurements of bone density taken by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry are the most accurate procedure for the diagnosis of osteoporosis.

Comparison of bioimpedance equations and dual-energy X-ray for assessment of fat free mass in a Chinese dialysis population

Renal Failure, 2023
Purpose Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is simple, noninvasive, inexpensive and frequently used for estimating fat free mass (FFM). The aims of this study were to evaluate the applicability of different BIA equations on FFM in Chinese subjects ...

Muscle-Bone Interactions in Chinese Men and Women Aged 18–35 Years

Journal of Osteoporosis, 2020
To characterize bone mineral density (BMD), bone strength, muscle and fat mass, and muscle strength and power in Chinese women (n = 25) and men (n = 28) classified as in the bone accrual phase (18–25 years) or in the peak bone mass phase (26–35 years ...

OSTEOPROTEGERIN AND BONE DENSITY [PDF]

Biomedical Papers, 2001
Aim of study was determine if a correlation exists between bone mass density and concentration of osteoprotegerin. We examined the group of 199 patients of mean age of 63 years. Of the group under study, 31 patients had normal bone density (T score > -1 and < 1) and 168 probands had osteopenia or osteoporosis (T < -1).

Advantages of lateral BMD DEXA measurement and concomitant lateral spinal imaging at the point of service over conventional PA measurement in the estimation of BMD

South African Journal of Radiology, 2003
This study examined 144 sequentially selected female patients with a mean age of 53.4 years. The purpose was to assess whether instant vertebral assessment (IVA) and lateral DEXA bone mineral density (BMD) measurement in the lumbar spine would render a ...

Bone Density Determination [PDF]

Spine, 1997
Bone mineral density determination is an integral part of the diagnosis, therapeutic planning, and monitoring of a patient with osteoporosis. Although the utility of measuring bone density seems intuitive, decisions must be made regarding whom to test, when to test, which technique to use, and which body site to evaluate.

Change in Bone Density and Reduction in Fracture Risk: A Meta‐Regression of Published Trials

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2019
Meta‐analyses conducted >15 years ago reported that improvements in bone mineral density (BMD) were associated with reduction in vertebral and nonvertebral fractures in osteoporosis trials.

Time Trends in Trajectories of Forearm Mineral Content and Bone Size during Childhood—Results from Cross‐Sectional Measurements with the Same Apparatus Four Decades Apart

JBMR Plus, 2023
Evidence suggests that single photon absorptiometry (SPA)‐measured forearm bone mineral density (BMD) is lower in contemporary children in Malmö than it was four decades ago, but the fracture incidence in the at‐risk population (all Malmö children) has ...

The Effectiveness of Physical Exercise on Bone Density in Osteoporotic Patients

BioMed Research International, 2018
Physical exercise is considered an effective means to stimulate bone osteogenesis in osteoporotic patients. The authors reviewed the current literature to define the most appropriate features of exercise for increasing bone density in osteoporotic ...
