Change in cortical bone density and its distribution differs between boys and girls during puberty
CONCEPT: Postmenarchal girls and premenopausal women have 3-4% higher cortical bone density (CoD, milligrams per cubic centimeter), com...
Cortical pQCT measures are associated with fractures in dialysis patients
To determine if pQCT could identify HD patients with fractures, we conducted a cross-sectional study in 52 men and women on HD. We foun...
Pubertal timing predicts previous fractures and BMD in young adult men: the GOOD study
The importance of pubertal timing for adult BMD in males was studied through association of pubertal timing with young adult bone pheno...
Structural adaptations to bone loss in aging men and women
INTRODUCTION: Bone apposition on the subperiosteal surface and bone loss from the endocortical surface during aging establish the exter...
Reduced bone mineral density in adults treated with high-dose corticosteroids for childhood nephrotic syndrome
BACKGROUND: Children with minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) receive repeated courses of high dose oral prednisolone. No previous...
Effects of calcium, dairy product, and vitamin D supplementation on bone mass accrual and body composition in 10-12-y-old girls: a 2-y randomized trial
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the relative effectiveness of calcium supplementation from food or pills with or without vitamin D su...
Bone measurements by peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) in children with cerebral palsy
OBJECTIVE: To use peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) to determine bone measurements in patients with cerebral palsy (CP...
Long-term protein intake and dietary potential renal acid load are associated with bone modeling and remodeling at the proximal radius in healthy children
BACKGROUND: Protein and alkalizing minerals are increasingly described as playing a major role in influencing bone status, not only in ...
