Effect of protein supplementation during a 6-month strength and conditioning program on areal and volumetric bone parameters
BACKGROUND: Skeletal loading and proper nutrition are necessary for optimal bone health. The appropriate amount of dietary protein to m...
A densitometric and morphometric analysis of the skeleton in adults with varying degrees of growth hormone deficiency
CONTEXT: Low bone mass is a characteristic feature of the adult GH deficiency (GHD) syndrome, but recent dual-energy x-ray absorptiomet...
Magnesium and muscle performance in older persons: the InCHIANTI study
BACKGROUND: The role of magnesium in maintaining muscle integrity and function in older adults is largely unknown. OBJECTIVE: We aimed ...
Free testosterone is a positive, whereas free estradiol is a negative, predictor of cortical bone size in young Swedish men: the GOOD study
In this study, we evaluated the predictive roles of sex steroids for skeletal parameters in young men (n = 1068) at the age of peak bon...
Association of amount of physical activity with cortical bone size and trabecular volumetric BMD in young adult men: the GOOD study
In this population-based study, amount of PA was associated with cortical bone size (increased thickness and periosteal circumference) ...
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...
Intravenous bisphosphonate therapy increases radial width in adults with osteogenesis imperfecta
Neridronate therapy in adult patients with OI significantly increases the cross-sectional area of the proximal radius. This observation...
