Genetic and environmental determinants of volumetric and areal BMD in multi-generational families of African ancestry: the Tobago Family Health Study
BMD is higher and fracture risk is lower among individuals of African versus European descent, but little is known about the genetic ar...
Is a school-based physical activity intervention effective for increasing tibial bone strength in boys and girls
This 16-month randomized, controlled school-based study compared change in tibial bone strength between 281 boys and girls participatin...
Leptin is a negative independent predictor of areal BMD and cortical bone size in young adult Swedish men
The association between leptin and areal BMD has been controversial, and the predictive role of leptin on cortical volumetric BMD and b...
Polymorphisms in the aromatase gene predict areal BMD as a result of affected cortical bone size: the GOOD study
The association between aromatase gene polymorphisms, bone parameters, and sex steroid levels was studied in 1068 men (18.9 +/- 0.6 yea...
Age of attainment of peak bone mass is site specific in Swedish men–The GOOD study
Results from this study suggest that PBM has been attained in the spine and femoral neck, but not in the radius or tibia, in 18- to 20-...
Examining bone surfaces across puberty: a 20-month pQCT trial
This follow-up study assessed sex differences in cortical bone growth at the tibial midshaft across puberty. In both sexes, periosteal ...
Growth patterns at distal radius and tibial shaft in pubertal girls: a 2-year longitudinal study
Bone changes, in terms of both size and BMD, were assessed longitudinally in pubertal girls. Before puberty, BMD at the distal radius d...
Males have larger skeletal size and bone mass than females, despite comparable body size
Gender differences in fractures may be related to body size, bone size, geometry, or density. We studied this in 18-year-old males (n =...
A multi-component exercise regimen to prevent functional decline and bone fragility in home-dwelling elderly women: randomized, controlled trial
Summary: This study showed that combination of strength, balance, agility and jumping training prevented functional decline and bone fr...
A 19-week exercise program for people with chronic stroke enhances bone geometry at the tibia: a peripheral quantitative computed tomography study
BACKGROUND:
We assessed the impact of a 19-week exercise program on bone health in chronic stroke. RESULTS:
Those who underwent the p...
