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...
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...
Skeletal effects of long-term estrogen and testosterone replacement treatment in a man with congenital aromatase deficiency: evidences of a priming effect of estrogen for sex steroids action on bone
The relative contribution of each sex steroid (i.e. estrogen and androgen) on bone in men and the relationships among sex steroids and ...
Detrimental effect of oral contraceptives on parameters of bone mass and geometry in a cohort of 248 young women
The aim of this cross-sectional analysis was to examine the skeletal effects of low-dose monophasic oral contraceptive (OC) use in a co...
Influence of birth weight on peripheral bone in young Gambian adults: a pQCT study
Birth weight has been shown to predict adult skeletal size and bone mineral content independently of postnatal factors. However, it is ...
Influence of birth weight and early diet on peripheral bone in premenopausal Cambridge women: a pQCT study
Epidemiological studies have shown relationships of adult bone mineral status with birth weight and diet in early life. Most of these s...
Correlates of bone quality in older persons
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: In a population-based sample of older persons, we studied the relationship between tibial bone density and geomet...
Changes in bone mass and bone turnover following tibial shaft fracture
INTRODUCTION: Bone loss occurs in the regional bone following tibial shaft fracture. An earlier cross-sectional study showed that measu...
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...
Association of an aromatase TTTA repeat polymorphism with circulating estrogen, bone structure, and biochemistry in older women
Osteoporosis is a disease that is strongly genetically determined. Aromatase converts androgens to estradiol in postmenopausal women, t...
