A bone mineral density test, sometimes just called abone density test, detects whether you have osteoporosis, a word that comes from Greek and literally means “porous bone.” When you have this condition, your bones get weak and thin. They become more likely to break. It’s a silent cond...

A bone mineral density test or a bone density test is a way to detect bone health. It is also called a bone mass measurement test. Lesser the bone density, greater are your chances of having osteoporosis and fractures. It measures the density of calcium and other minerals present within you...
Changes in bone mineral density (BMD) start earlier for women with type 1 diabetes. In fact, dramatic declines are seen in the postteenage years. Although type 1 diabetes has been linked with decreases in BMD, the relationship between the disease course and bone changes leading to osteoporosis...
Reports on the increased risk of developing breast cancer in older women with high bone mineral density (BMD) as compared to older women with low BMD according to University of Pittsburgh researchers. Relationship between osteoporosis and invasive breast cancer; Hormones linked to breast cancer; Risk...
In summary, estrogen therapy is usually considered for older women to relieve menopausal symptoms (i.e., hot flushes). The associated improvements in bone health should be considered when weighing the benefits and the risks of estrogen treatment. Estrogen therapy is now usually recommended for postm...
Women who had ever used teriparatide, or who had taken bisphospho- nates for more than 1 year were excluded. All subjects provided written informed consent and the Institutional Review Board of CUMC approved this study. Areal bone mineral density by DXA We measured aBMD of the lumbar spine (...
How often should I get a bone density test? Because of course as you grow older, you're going to lose more bone. If you're terrific at 60, you might want to do another one at 65 to see what's happened. If you are low and you're going to be treated, we think it's a good...
older women who consume onions most frequently may decrease their risk of hip fracture by more than 20% versus those who never consume onions. In conclusion, frequent onion consumption seems to be associated with increased bone density and may be an area for future research. We believe that fut...
