Growth in early life predicts bone strength in late adulthood: the Hertfordshire Cohort Study
Infant growth is a determinant of adult bone mass, and poor childhood growth is a risk factor for adult hip fracture. Peripheral quanti...
Sex steroid levels and cortical bone size in young men are associated with a uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 polymorphism (H268Y)
CONTEXT: Sex steroids are involved in the regulation of pubertal cortical bone expansion in males. In vitro studies have indicated that...
Is a school-based physical activity intervention effective for increasing tibial bone strength in boys and girls
This 16-month randomized, controlled school-based study compared change in tibial bone strength between 281 boys and girls participatin...
Examining bone surfaces across puberty: a 20-month pQCT trial
This follow-up study assessed sex differences in cortical bone growth at the tibial midshaft across puberty. In both sexes, periosteal ...
Growth patterns at distal radius and tibial shaft in pubertal girls: a 2-year longitudinal study
Bone changes, in terms of both size and BMD, were assessed longitudinally in pubertal girls. Before puberty, BMD at the distal radius d...
A multi-component exercise regimen to prevent functional decline and bone fragility in home-dwelling elderly women: randomized, controlled trial
Summary: This study showed that combination of strength, balance, agility and jumping training prevented functional decline and bone fr...
Bone density and hemoglobin levels in older persons: results from the InCHIANTI study
Hypoxemia has been recognized as a risk factor for bone loss. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship of bone m...
Lasofoxifene (CP-336,156) protects against the age-related changes in bone mass, bone strength, and total serum cholesterol in intact aged male rats
The purpose of this study was to evaluate if long-term (6 months) treatment with lasofoxifene (LAS), a new selective estrogen receptor ...
Oral glucocorticoid-induced fall in cortical bone volume and density in postmenopausal asthmatic patients
Despite a deepening understanding of the influence of glucocorticoids (GC) on trabecular bone, little is known about GC-induced cortica...
Bone density measurements in pediatric patients with renal osteodystrophy
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) can selectively measure the densities of cortical and trabecular bone, but there is ...
