Bone Density in Competitive Cyclists
Current Sports Medicine Reports, 2010To investigate current theories of the contributing factors to osteopenia/osteoporosis in competitive cyclists, we present a narrative review of published cross-sectional studies investigating plausible etiologies of decreased bone density in competitive cyclists. Aggregate from multiple published studies as cited.

Bone density and fracture risk
Medical Journal of Australia, 2008steoporosis, most simply and elegantly defined as “too little bone in the bone”, is generally the result of progressive bone loss which, for all practical purposes, starts at menopause in women and at about the age of 50 years in men. Because women have a lower bone organ density than men and then lose bone more rapidly, and also because women live ...

Pediatric bone density and fracture
Current Osteoporosis Reports, 2007As children grow, they accumulate bone mineral, which serves as a "bone bank" for the future. Any condition that interferes with normal bone mineral accrual during childhood has the potential to reduce peak bone mass and subsequently increase future risk for fracture. In contrast to adults, for whom dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has become the

IS MEASUREMENT OF BONE DENSITY USEFUL?
Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 1993Bone density testing is safe, accurate, and useful. Specific clinical indications and the types of equipment available to assess them are reviewed. A positive effect on the practice of a clinical rheumatologist with resultant improved patient care appears likely in light of the information available.

Bone Density Measurements in vivo
Science, 1962Measurements in vivo are complicated by physical and physiological problems. Lack of standard techniques between laboratories and confusion in terminology have prompted this report. The theory underlying the method is presented with data comparing values obtained by different methods.

Update on Bone Density Measurement
Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 2001Bone densitometry is a clinically accepted technique for assessing fracture risk and evaluating skeletal change. The proper clinical use of densitometry requires an understanding of the available techniques, their appropriate application, and the potential sources of measurement error. Recent clinical guidelines recommend that all women over the age of

Update on bone density testing
Current Osteoporosis Reports, 2005Bone mineral density (BMD) testing is a noninvasive measurement to diagnose osteoporosis or low bone density, predict fracture risk, and monitor changes in bone density over time. The "gold-standard" technology for diagnosis and monitoring is dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry of the spine, hip, or forearm.

Bone density in women with endometriosis.
Panminerva medica, 1998To evaluate the impact of endometriosis on bone metabolism.We compared bone mineral density and biochemical markers (plasma osteocalcin, bone alkaline phosphatase, fasting urinary hydroxyproline, urinary excretion of cross-linked N-telopeptide of type I collagen) of bone turnover in forty-nine perimenopausal women undergoing laparotomy because of ...
