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...
Pubertal timing predicts previous fractures and BMD in young adult men: the GOOD study
The importance of pubertal timing for adult BMD in males was studied through association of pubertal timing with young adult bone pheno...
Reduced bone mineral density in adults treated with high-dose corticosteroids for childhood nephrotic syndrome
BACKGROUND: Children with minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) receive repeated courses of high dose oral prednisolone. No previous...
Effects of calcium, dairy product, and vitamin D supplementation on bone mass accrual and body composition in 10-12-y-old girls: a 2-y randomized trial
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the relative effectiveness of calcium supplementation from food or pills with or without vitamin D su...
Bone measurements by peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) in children with cerebral palsy
OBJECTIVE: To use peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) to determine bone measurements in patients with cerebral palsy (CP...
Long-term protein intake and dietary potential renal acid load are associated with bone modeling and remodeling at the proximal radius in healthy children
BACKGROUND: Protein and alkalizing minerals are increasingly described as playing a major role in influencing bone status, not only in ...
Maturity- and sex-related changes in tibial bone geometry, strength and bone-muscle strength indices during growth: a 20-month pQCT study
During growth, bone strength is conferred through subtle adaptations in bone mass and geometry in response to muscle forces. Few studie...
Bone structure and volumetric density in young adults born prematurely: a peripheral quantitative computed tomography study
Prematurity is known to be associated with reduced bone mineral density (BMD) in childhood, but whether this condition has long-term de...
Bone geometry and density in the skeleton of pre-pubertal gymnasts and school children
We have studied the differences between the peripheral and axial skeleton of pre-pubertal gymnasts and controls. We hypothesised that c...
Quantitative bone analysis in children: current methods and recommendations
Over the past decade there have been an increasing number of published manuscripts dealing with pediatric bone mineral density (BMD). T...
