Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 1995 Two complementary notions need to be considered in the definition of osteoporosis: a reduction in bone mineral density and the occurrence of fracture. Bone mineral density is an established determinant of the risk of future fracture, but current interventions are most usefully targeted before bone density has fallen to the levels at which fractures ...

Pharmacogenetics of osteoporosis [PDF]
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010 Osteoporosis is a complex bone disorder with a strong genetic basis. The genetics of osteoporosis encompasses two main areas: genetics of disease susceptibility and pharmacogenetics of drug response. The former has been widely studied in the past few decades, while the latter is still largely untouched.

Genetics of Osteoporosis [PDF]
Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders, 2001 Osteoporosis is a common disease with a strong genetic component characterized by reduced bone mass and an increased risk of fragility fractures. Twin and family studies have shown that the heritability of bone mineral density and other determinants of fracture risk, such as ultrasound properties of bone, skeletal geometry, and bone turnover, is high ...

Human Bone Typing Using Quantitative Cone-Beam Computed Tomography
International Dental Journal, 2023 Introduction: Bone typing is crucial to enable the choice of a suitable implant, the surgical technique, and the evaluation of the clinical outcome. Currently, bone typing is assessed subjectively by the surgeon.
