The ‚muscle-bone unit‘ in children and adolescents: a 2000 overview
In former views hormones, calcium, vitamin D and other humoral and nonmechanical agents dominated control of postnatal bone strength (a...
On new opportunities for absorptiometry
Mechanical loads cause bone strains; and muscle forces, not body weight, cause the largest strains. The strains help to control the eff...
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography of the femoral neck in 60 Japanese women
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) is able to evaluate trabecular and cortical bone separately, and to determine geomet...
Age-related changes assessed by peripheral QCT in healthy Italian women
The purpose of this study was to describe the normal cross-sectional pattern of radial bone loss associated with aging in healthy women...
Age-related changes in the biochemical properties of human cancellous bone collagen: relationship to bone strength
The metabolism of bone collagen has received little attention in relation to age-related loss of bone mass and strength. The aim of the...
Bone metabolism and bone mineral density in childhood hypophosphatasia
Childhood hypophosphatasia (HP) is an inborn error of bone metabolism, characterized by a reduced tissue-nonspecific isoenzyme of alkal...
Age at menarche and cortical bone geometry in premenopausal women
Previous studies have suggested that the timing of puberty might have an impact on the adult skeleton. What composite of bone structure...

In addition to the alendronate Osteoporosis Intervention Trial (FOSIT) core protocol 901-0A of 1908 enrolled patients, the use of perip...
Influence of muscle strength on bone strength during childhood and adolescence
In connection with the prevention of osteoporosis, paediatrics is challenged with ensuring the optimal formation of the skeletal system...
Problems of bone analysis in childhood and adolescence
