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 ...

The Association Between Cysteine, Bone Turnover, and Low Bone Mass

Calcified Tissue International, 2007
With the identification of hyperhomocysteinemia as a risk factor for developing osteoporosis, the contribution of thiols metabolically linked with homocysteine (tHcy) may be of importance. Cysteine (Cys) is formed from tHcy and is involved in bone metabolism via incorporation into collagen and cysteine protease enzymes.We investigated the association ...

Low bone mass in Pompe disease

Bone, 2010
Pompe disease is an inherited metabolic myopathy caused by deficiency of acid alpha-glucosidase. The introduction of enzyme replacement therapy as treatment for the disease may change prospects for patients and may require that more attention be paid to co-morbidities such as osteoporosis.Bone mineral status was assessed in children and adults with ...

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.

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 ...

Prevalence of Low Bone Mass and Osteoporosis in Long-Term Users of the Injectable Contraceptive Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate.

Journal of Women's Health, 2015
BACKGROUND Bone mineral density (BMD) loss among depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) users is a controversial issue. Aspects under debate include whether the number of years of use has any effect on continuous BMD loss, whether this loss will ...
