Bone Quality—Beyond Bone Mineral Density
Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology, 2016Both bone mass and quality are responsible for bone strength. Whereas bone mass is measured with bone mineral density, quantification of bone quality is more complex and involves bone architecture, texture, and mechanical parameters. Over the last decade, significant progress has been made in developing technologies to measure bone quality.

Measurements of Bone Mass and Bone Density
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 1989X-ray-based procedures are available to measure bone mineral density in vitro at almost any skeletal site. These bone density measurements are not useful in the diagnosis of the cause of bone loss but at present are the only tests available for assessing bone mass prior to the occurrence of irreversible changes such as fractures or vertebral ...

Assessment of bone density and bone loss
Osteoporosis International, 1996Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry has become the standard for the evaluation of osteoporosis. It is useful both for identifying those people who are going to be at risk of fracture in the future, and for monitoring therapy when the measurements are made at the lumbar spine.

Dietary restrictions, bone density, and bone quality
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2016Caloric restriction (CR), protein restriction (PR), and specific amino acid restriction (e.g., methionine restriction (MR)) are different dietary interventions that have been confirmed with regard to their comprehensive benefits to metabolism and health. Based on bone densitometric measurements, weight loss induced by dietary restriction is known to be

Osteocyte density in woven bone
Bone, 2004Woven bone forms rapidly during tissue growth, following injury and in response to certain anabolic stimuli. Functional differences between woven and lamellar bone may be due, in part, to differences in osteocyte density (cells per unit tissue). Woven bone has been estimated to contain four to eight times more osteocytes than lamellar bone, although ...

Bone density in medieval skeletons
Calcified Tissue International, 1995We studied the most complete skeletons found in an excavation from the 14th and 15th century in central Stockholm. One hundred eighty-seven were from men and 156 from women: 241 individuals were estimated to be between 20 and 39 and 102 between 40 and 59 years old at death. We examined the bones radiographically and by dual photon absorptiometry.

Bone Mineral Density in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2005Abstract Estrogen deficiency and pulmonary diseases are associated with bone mineral density (BMD) loss. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a disorder affecting women that is characterized by cystic lung lesions, is frequently treated with antiestrogen therapy, i.e., progesterone and/or oophorectomy. Therefore, we evaluated BMD yearly in

Bone mineral density in osteoarthritis
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2000The inverse relation between osteoporosis and osteoarthritis has long been considered in the literature. This review looks at current evidence to support this relation, concentrating on studies published since 1998. The review also summarizes previous large studies investigating this relation.

The effects of corticosteroids on bone growth and bone density
Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, 2009To define the effects of both parenteral and inhaled corticosteroids on bone growth in children and the development of osteopenia and osteoporosis in children and adults.Articles in PubMed and MEDLINE published from 1983 to 2008 were searched. Keywords used included corticosteroids and bone growth, osteopenia, osteoporosis, and bisphosphonates ...
