When a Women's Health Initiative study revealed that estrogen therapy increased the risk of breast cancer, stroke and Alzheimer's disease, many women stopped taking their hormones and started looking for alternative treatments for bone loss.Newspapers, McClatchy...
Age-related bone loss involves a gradual and progressive decline, which is also seen in men. Markedly increased bone resorption leads to the initial fall in bone mineral density. With increasing age, there is also a significant reduction in bone formation. This is mostly due to a shift from ...
There are few data on osteoporosis in men, but cross-sectional studies have shown that age-related bone loss in men is of lower magnitude than in women. To elucidate some controversies related partially to methodological aspects, we measured bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy X-ray abso...
For the fracture of the distal radius, a close match can be achieved in females using an exponential function to describe the bone loss phase; in males, the incidence is independent of age and trauma, rather than the amount of bone in the forearm, appears to be the main determinant of ...
A large number of cross-sectional studies suggest that rates of bone loss decrease in the elderly, particularly at the spine and radius. For this reason it
Ageing causes substantial changes in both the structure and the mechanical properties of bone, i.e. quantity and quality18,31. Bone loss throughout life has been observed in so many different populations, that it is regarded as a universal feature of ageing, also called ‘physiological osteopenia...
Those that have studied aged animals have exclusively focused on bone loss during unloading and not bone recovery during subsequent reloading. In this study, we investigated the effect of decreased mechanical loading and subsequent reloading on bone using a hindlimb unloading model in Adult (9 month...
Continuing bone expansion and increasing bone loss over a two‐decade period in men and women from a total community sample As shown in 744 adult men and women aged 30-49 at entry and followed for 21.4 卤 0.9 years there is continuing subperiosteal expansion in both sexes as well as contin...
The research, "'Skeletal Age' for mapping the impact of fracture on mortality" has just been published in the journal,eLife. In the study of more than 1.6 million adults, the scientists found that abone fracturewas associated with a loss of one to seven years of life, depending on gender...
A group of steroid hormones could provide new insight into the bone loss and deterioration that occurs with aging, researchers at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University report.
