Quantifying leisure physical activity and its relation to bone density and strength
PURPOSE: Compare three published methods of quantifying physical activity (total activity, peak strain, and bone-loading exposure (BLE)...
Similar effects of long-term exogenous growth hormone (GH) on bone and muscle parameters: a pQCT study of GH-deficient and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) children
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Treatment with GH in short children has focused on height development. Little is known about the concomitant chang...
Association between physical activity and BMD in young men is modulated by catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) genotype: the GOOD study
In this large population-based study in young men, we show that the COMT val158met polymorphism modulates the association between physi...
A structural approach to the assessment of fracture risk in children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease
Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have multiple risk factors for impaired accretion of trabecular and cortical bone. CKD durin...
Quantitative MRI of parallel changes of articular cartilage and underlying trabecular bone in degeneration
OBJECTIVE: To determine the interrelations between degenerative changes in articular cartilage and underlying trabecular bone during de...
Chocolate consumption and bone density in older women
BACKGROUND: Nutrition is important for the development and maintenance of bone structure and for the prevention of osteoporosis and fra...
Hand dominance and bone response after a distal radial fracture: a peripheral QCT study
There are no reports on bone geometry or volumetric bone density adaptations in those who have sustained a distal radial fracture. We u...
Can bisphosphonate treatment be stopped in a growing child with skeletal fragility
SUMMARY: Cyclical pamidronate therapy in a 2-year-old child with skeletal fragility resulted in remodelling of vertebral fractures and ...
Volumetric bone density and geometry assessed by peripheral quantitative computed tomography in uremic patients on maintenance hemodialysis
The aim of this study was to establish, by means of peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) at the distal radius, the existe...
Tibial geometry is associated with failure load ex vivo: a MRI, pQCT and DXA study
SUMMARY: We studied the relations between bone geometry and density and the mechanical properties of human cadaveric tibiae. Bone geome...
