OBJECTIVE: To examine bone development in children and adolescents who have uncomplicated idiopathic epilepsy and had received monother...
Can exercise prevent osteoporosis
Commonly used definitions of osteoporosis rely upon the measurement of bone mass or bone mineral density and regard the difference betw...
Changes of trabecular bone density in elderly subjects: a 4-year prospective pQCT study
In large cohort studies changes in bone density and mass are often described statistically as mean values over a period of time1,2. Thi...
Changes in bone density during childhood and adolescence: an approach based on bone’s biological organization
Bone densitometry has great potential to improve our understanding of bone development. However, densitometric data in children rarely ...
Modeling of cross-sectional bone size, mass and geometry at the proximal radius: a study of normal bone development using peripheral quantitative computed tomography
It is becoming increasingly accepted that bone size is an important determinant of bone mass. Studies on the development of bone size m...
Anthropometric assessment of muscularity during growth: estimating fat-free mass with 2 skinfold-thickness measurements is superior to measuring midupper arm muscle area in healthy prepubertal children
BACKGROUND: Anthropometric measurements are widely used to determine body composition, especially in children. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was t...
Influence of puberty on muscle development at the forearm
Despite its fundamental importance for physical development, the growth of the muscle system has received relatively little considerati...
Site-specific skeletal response to long-term weight training seems to be attributable to principal loading modality: a pQCT study of female weightlifters
Physical training may be able to improve bone strength through site-specific changes in the composition, size and structure of the bone...
Musculoskeletal analyses of the forearm in young women with Turner syndrome: a study using peripheral quantitative computed tomography
Turner syndrome (TS) is associated with multiple skeletal abnormalities. Fracture incidence appears to be increased, but the reasons fo...
Gender-specific pubertal changes in volumetric cortical bone mineral density at the proximal radius
It is well established that puberty affects the geometry of cortical bone differently in females and males. In the present study we inv...
