Muscle function improves during growth hormone therapy in short children born small for gestational age: results of a peripheral quantitative computed tomography study on body composition
BACKGROUND: Short small for gestational age (SGA) children can be affected by a lack of muscle mass rather than fat mass. They also fac...
Subcutaneous fat and body fat mass have different effects on bone development at the forearm in children and adolescents.
The present study investigated whether subcutaneous fat differs in the impact on bone development from fat mass (FM). We analyzed 295 ...
In vivo magnetic resonance detects rapid remodeling changes in the topology of the trabecular bone network after menopause and the protective effect of estradiol
INTRODUCTION: Estrogen depletion after menopause is accompanied by bone loss and architectural deterioration of trabecular bone. The hy...
Genetic and environmental influence on structural strength of weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing bone: a twin study
A bivariate genetic analysis among 217 older female twin pairs showed that, although the structural strength of tibia and radius are ma...
Methods for measurement of pediatric bone
Many experts believe that optimizing bone mineral accrual early in life may prevent childhood fractures and possibly delay the developm...
Leisure physical activity and the risk of fracture in men
BACKGROUND: Data from previous studies are inconsistent, and it is therefore uncertain whether, to what extent, and at what level leisu...
Longitudinal changes in BMD and bone geometry in a population-based study
We prospectively examined vBMD and structural bone parameters assessed by QCT among participants of the InCHIANTI study over a 6-yr fol...
Imaging of lower extremity stress fracture injuries
Stress reactions and stress fractures in the lower extremities occur frequently in military and athletic populations. As the clinical s...
