Modeling Pathways for Low Bone Mass in Children With Malignancies

Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 2009
Children with malignancies have low bone mass. Pathways for metabolic bone disease were investigated in children with cancer by concomitantly assessing lifestyle, clinical, and biochemical predictors of bone mass. Forty-one children who were receiving cancer therapy for 61 weeks and 39 controls were studied.

Hypermobility syndrome increases the risk for low bone mass

Clinical Rheumatology, 2005
Few studies on the benign joint hypermobility syndrome suggest a tendency toward osteopenia, but there are conflicting results. We assessed bone mineral density in pre-menopausal women with hypermobility. Twenty-five consecutive Caucasian women diagnosed with benign hypermobility syndrome by Beighton score and 23 age- and sex-matched controls were ...

Hemophilia, low bone mass, and osteopenia/osteoporosis

Transfusion and Apheresis Science, 2008
A recent case series from Australia suggested that children with hemophilia may be more likely to have low bone density or osteopenia than healthy controls. This finding has led to uncertainty among patients and their physicians as to whether treatment with bisphosphonates is indicated to treat osteopenia and prevent osteoporosis in children or young ...

Differential Diagnosis: Low Bone Mass

1998
Low bone mass is necessary but not sufficient for osteoporosis and fracture. It is the major contributor to the risk of fracture in an individual patient, but other factors also come into play. These include age, previous fracture, family history of fracture, and frequency of falls.

Low Bone Mass in Past and Present Aboriginal Populations

1994
A slight and gradual loss of bone mass is characteristic of all aging primates, if they live long enough (Garn, 1970; Burr, 1980). Nevertheless, the observation of reduced bone mass among ancestral human skeletal remains is limited to relatively recent populations.

Consensus of an international panel on the clinical utility of bone mass measurements in the detection of low bone mass in the adult population

Calcified Tissue International, 1996
Low bone mass, in the asymptomatic patient, predicts future fracture risk as well as high cholesterol or high blood pressure predicts the risk of heart disease or stroke. In patients without fractures, osteoporosis can be diagnosed based on the extent of reduction in bone mass below mean peak bone mass of healthy young individuals.

Should low bone mass be treated?

International journal of fertility and women's medicine, 2006
More postemenopausal women with osteopenia fracture than those who have osteoporosis. Algorithms are being developed to enhance risk stratification to facilitate decisions when to treat in the osteopenic population. Evidence exists that osteoporosis agents can reduce fracture risk in the osteopenic population.
