Each point higher was associated with 0.08% greater loss of femoral neck
bone mineral density, 0.11% greater loss of total hip
bone mineral density and 0.07% greater loss of lumbar spine
bone mineral density.
Serum levels of IGF-1, ET-1 and cytokines and
bone mineral density were compared between the two groups using t test.
In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between the systemic
bone mineral density and ACPA and RF in patients with RA.
The research team used accepted statistical methods to single out factors linked to lower
bone mineral density. This type of analysis simultaneously considers the impact of several factors that may affect bone density.
Bone mineral density was measured at lumbar spine by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry studies by the same technical staff using the same equipment.
Methods: The cross-sectional multicentre study was conducted at Pakistan Health Research Council centres in Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi,and comprised subjects coming for either vitamin D testing or
bone mineral density examination.
[USA], April 6 ( ANI ): Turns out that higher intake of the dairy products including milk, yogurt and cheese is associated with higher volumetric
bone mineral density and vertebral strength at the spine in men.
QCT measurements found more COPD patients with impaired
bone mineral density compared to DXA, namely, 13 (35.1%) versus 12 (32.4%) patients with osteopenia and 16 (43.2%) versus 9 (16.2%) patients with osteoporosis (p = 0.04).
The researchers drew on data from the
Bone Mineral Density in Childhood Study (BMDCS), funded by the NIH.
Those who received the nutritional supplements experienced a 4.3% average increase in
bone mineral density in the lumbar spine, a 2.2% increase in femoral neck density and a trend toward an increase in total left hip density, along with a reduction in bone turnover in comparison with the placebo group.
Miller said: "This study completes a suite of trials that show transitioning from oral bisphosphonates to denosumab provides greater increases in
bone mineral density and reduction in bone turnover markers, compared to maintaining therapy with another bisphosphonate."
Yet, although Kemmler and colleagues (9) investigated the exercise effects on fitness and
bone mineral density in early post-menopausal women, there are relatively few studies that seek to verify in this population the effect of moderate intensity resistance training.
