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 Childhood Obesity
Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2000There are several metabolic and hormonal disturbances in childhood obesity. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between childhood obesity and bone mineral density (BMD). We studied BMD in 37 obese children and in 37 non-obese children. BMD was measured at L2-L4 level by using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.

Bone Mineral Density in Angelman Syndrome
Pediatric Neurology, 2007Our aim was to evaluate bone mineral densitometry in patients with Angelman syndrome with or without antiepileptic therapy. Eighteen patients (9 females, 9 males), aged 4.0-24.3 years (mean age, 10.1 years), and two control groups consisting of 18 epileptic and 24 healthy patients, underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at the lumbar spine (L(1)-L ...

Bone Mineral Density in Adolescents
Pediatric Annals, 1995Bone densitometry is becoming more widely available and is no longer limited to studying the elderly. Rapid, safe, and accurate methods of measuring BMD now allow serial determination of this important factor in fracture risk and will undoubtedly become even more accessible in the future.

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 mineral density. Mineral density in metabolic bone disease.
The quarterly journal of nuclear medicine : official publication of the Italian Association of Nuclear Medicine (AIMN) [and] the International Association of Radiopharmacology (IAR), 1999Bone metabolism and thus bone remodelling and bone mineral content are profoundly influenced by many hormonal and metabolic factors. This review presents the state of the art procedures for bone mineral absorptiometry and examines the interactions of endocrine and metabolic diseases and bone mineral content.

Bone mineral density in children with myelomeningocele
Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2008The aim of the present study was to document bone mineral density (BMD) in children with myelomeningocele and to identify variables that contribute to reduced BMD. The study included 24 children with myelomeningocele (nine males, 15 females; age range 4–18y), who had varied levels of neurological impairment (thoracic/high‐lumbar, n=6; mid‐lumbar, n=9 ...
