When prescribing contraception, factors such as formulation, patient age, and menstrual history should be taken into consideration, as these factors can affect bone density. Clinical use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists should remain limited because of significant bone loss associated with their...
To determine whether measurement of bone density predicts hip fracture in women, we prospectively studied 9703 nonblack women aged 65 years and older who had measurements of bone mineral density using single-photon absorptiometry in the calcaneus, distal radius, and proximal radius. During an average...
In women, bone density (or mass) progressively increases until about age 30, when bones are at their strongest. After that, bone density gradually decreases. The decrease in bone density accelerates after menopause, which occurs on average around age 51. ...
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Almost any organs of the body, but mostly the lungs, are involved. Bone mineral density (BMD) can be affected directly or indirectly in chronic granulomatous systemic diseases such as sarcoidosis. The aim of our study was to ...
