Promoting adherence to bone-loading exercises in postmenopausal women with low bone mass

Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, 2021
ABSTRACT Background: We recently completed a parent study (Bone Loading Exercises versus Risedronate on Bone Health in Post-menopausal Women [NIH# R01NR015029]) examining bone-loading exercises to prevent bone loss in postmenopausal women with low bone mass.

Causes of low peak bone mass in women

Maturitas, 2018
Peak bone mass is the maximum bone mass that accrues during growth and development. Consolidation of peak bone mass normally occurs during early adulthood. Low peak bone mass results from failure to achieve peak bone mass genetic potential, primarily due to bone loss caused by a variety of conditions or processes occurring at younger ages than usual ...

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 ...

Low Bone Mass in Prepubertal Children with Thalassemia Major: Insights into the Pathogenesis of Low Bone Mass in Thalassemia

Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2004
Low bone mass occurs frequently in the aging thalassemic population. However, limited information exists on bone mass in children with thalassemia major (TM) during their first decade of life.Spinal bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in 18 children (age 5.8 +/- 1.5 yr; M:F 8:10) with TM on ...

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 ...

Bone Mass Is Low in Relatives of Osteoporotic Patients

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1988
To determine whether the failure to attain normal bone mass in young adulthood contributes to the later development of osteoporotic fractures.Case-control study.Referral-based bone clinic at a large teaching hospital.Sequential sample of 35 asymptomatic relatives, aged 19 to 59 years, of patients with osteoporotic fractures, and 24 patients with ...

Patients on injectable diacetylmorphine maintenance have low bone mass

Drug and alcohol review, 2011
Risk factors for osteoporosis are prevalent in chronic heroin users who often start using opiates in their late teens. This study was the first to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) in relatively young heroin-dependent patients on injectable heroin maintenance.Using cross-sectional design, BMD was assessed in a convenience sample of 19 patients (mean ...

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.

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.
