Walking provides a modest increase in the loads on the skeleton above gravity and, therefore, this type of exercise has proved to be less effective in osteoporosis prevention. Strength exercise seems to be a powerful stimulus to improve and maintain bone mass during the ageing process. Multi-...
It is worth considering that the femoral neck, being the closest region to the femoral head, may increase the risk of hip fractures significantly due to reduced bone mineral density, which can subsequently lead to secondary femoral head necrosis. However, in the context of our research results, ...
155 According to a study on perimenopausal and postmenopausal women, the annual loss of BMD was approximately 2%–5% in the first several years of menopause followed by a notable increase in BMD loss, reaching 20%–30% at the femoral neck and 30%–40% at the spine ten years following the...
To increase bone mass, much of the recent evidence suggests that the best time for intervention with calcium or exercise may be during the prepubertal years.41, 43 In the older female athlete, BMD is typically well above normal,27, 66, 96 but even young amenorrheic athletes can have bone...
The characteristic widening of the vascular channels observed radiographically is caused by an increase in blood flow to this region of the bone due to chronic inflammation. Alternatively, septic pedal osteitis is caused by a septic process of the 3rd phalanx, leading to a focal lysis of the ...
The ultrasound changes may be accounted for by increase in trabecular separation and a fall in trabecular connectivity due to microfracture. The decrease in bone markers implies a fall in bone turnover.doi:10.1007/PL00005820J. EtheringtonJ. Keeling...
The effects obtained from all models thus represent a one standard deviation increase in the exposure on the outcome. The selection of covariates followed a literature-based approach. Next to sex and age, we considered waist circumference to be a significant determinant of exposure and outcome, as...
Consequently, spine BMD is increased by degenerative arthritis and, for this reason, tends to increase after about age 65 years rather than decrease, as seen in other BMD measurements.19 Peripheral Densitometry. Smaller devices use DXA or SXA to measure bone density in the forearm or heel. The...
