Current Osteoporosis Reports, 2008
The finding of low bone mineral density with a T-score of -2.5 or below on dual energy x-ray absorptiometry is usually reported as indicating that the patient has "osteoporosis" according to the World Health Organization classification, and, in postmenopausal women, it is often assumed that this is due to estrogen deficiency.

Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 2010
As the population ages, the amount of metabolic bone disease and number of fractures will increase. It is imperative that health care providers screen and treat patients at risk of metabolic bone disease. There is much research ongoing in this field and the number of treatment options will greatly expand. Focusing on ways to maximize the development of

Although rickets and osteomalacia posed a serious health problem in industrialised countries a hundred years ago, these diseases are now rarely found, and when, usually in certain risk groups. In underdeveloped countries, rickets is still a major public health problem due to inadequate calcium intake by children.

A commonly accepted answer to this question given in many textbooks is ‘softness of bones caused by an increase in the relative amount of unmineralized bone matrix’. This definition is still valid, but only as long as the physical characteristics of a softening of bone are respected.

Over recent years it has been demonstrated that there is a significant incidence of osteomalacia in elderly patients presenting with fractures of the femoral neck. The results of a survey carried out on all patients admitted to St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne, with fractures of the upper end of the femur over a 12‐month period are presented, and the ...

Osteomalacia in ureterosigmoidostomy
Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1969(1) A case of severe osteomalacia with chronic metabolic acidosis following ureterosigmoidostomy is described.

Osteomalacia in thyrotoxicosis
Metabolism, 1964Abstract In order to evaluate the skeletal changes in thyrotoxicosis, alterations in calcium and phosphorus metabolism were studied in 15 patients with established thyrotoxicosis who were free from renal or cardiac disease. The percentage retention after intravenous administration of a standard calcium infusion was determined, and a roentgenologic ...

This excess of unmineralized bone can be definitively diagnosed only by bone biopsy. Vitamin D therapy, with or without adjuncts, is consistently effective, but dosages vary widely for the 30 or so known etiologies of this all-too-common osteopenia.
