It is widely recognized that the risk of fractures is closely related to the typical decline in bone mass during the ageing process in both women and men.
Bar chart of differences between BMDBIA and BMDDXA in different BMI groups (*, p < 0.05 ). Full size image Discussion To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to verify the application of systemic BMD measurement to the BIA in the general public. Currently, although rel...
We hypothesized that low bone density following early adolescent pregnancy persists into young adult life. Methods A cohort of 256 women was identified by chart review. Participants were eligible if they delivered before the age of 16 years and were aged 20 to 45 years at time of study. We ...
A Z-score indicates the number of standard deviations above or below the age-specific mean that a BMD value sits on the growth chart. BMD growth charts are typically specific for sex and race, with some exceptions. Based on a standard normal distribution, it is expected that nearly 96% of...
FIG. 16 is a flow chart similar to that of FIG. 14 showing the steps of obtaining the measurements shown in FIG. 15; FIG. 17 is a figure similar to FIG. 1 showing the placement of a film cassette beneath the patient table for simultaneously acquiring a digital dual energy density imag...

Design: A database search identified pathology cases at our hospital from 2000-2014 with a diagnosis of 'synovial chondromatosis.' Chart review was performed to identify cases with a pre-operative concern for malignancy based on extra-articular spread of disease. These cases were pulled for ...
Effects of Romosozumab Compared With Teriparatide on Bone Density and Mass at the Spine and Hip in Postmenopausal Women With Low Bone Mass Romosozumab, a monoclonal antibody that binds sclerostin, has a dual effect on bone by increasing bone formation and reducing bone resorption, and thus has...
Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene. In 49 female RTT children, aged 1.9–17 y, bone mass was assessed and correlated with clinical parameters and mutations involving the MECP2 gene. We als
Another study noted normal BMD in children with FA after correction for height age (the age that corresponds to the child’s height when plotted at the 50%ile on the growth chart) (10). Nine of the eleven patients with SDS had osteoporosis (11). Premature osteoporosis was also described ...
