Age-related decline in trabecular and cortical density: a 5-year peripheral quantitative computed tomography follow-up study of pre- and postmenopausal women
This 5-year prospective study assessed changes in trabecular and cortical volumetric bone density at the non-weight-bearing radius and ...
A structural approach to the assessment of fracture risk in children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease
Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have multiple risk factors for impaired accretion of trabecular and cortical bone. CKD durin...
Chocolate consumption and bone density in older women

Calcium supplementation and weight bearing physical activity–do they have a combined effect on the bone density of pre-pubertal children
The adaptation of bone to exercise has been shown to be modified by dietary calcium intake. The aim of this randomised controlled trial...
Annual change in bone mineral density in predialysis patients with chronic renal failure: significance of a decrease in serum 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D
