However, Paper 2 of this dissertation using longitudinal data shows that obese older adults lose more bone density over time. Using multivariable generalized estimating equations and 10 years of data from 2,570 older adults in the Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study found that obese older ...
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...
We have studied a normal adult caucasian population (462 females, 264 males age range 20-84) using dual photon absorptiometry to establish patterns of bone reduction at the spine and hip. Subjects were either randomly selected from the electoral roll or volunteers. Bone mineral density reduction ...
Recently, as an independent fracture factor from Bone mineral density (BMD), muscle weakness due to the fatty degeneration of thigh muscles have been attracting attentions as causes of hip fracture. The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between the body composition and BMD an...
Objective To study the hip bone mineral density (BMD) in adult women and the prevalence rate of osteoporosis (OP) in Kunming region. Methods 330 healthy women living in Kunming, aged 20-90 years, were recruited. BMD at left femoral neck, Ward's triangle and great trochanter were measured ...

The density plots were also used to measure the cortical bone area present on each section. Two cases showed a gradient of resorptive remodeling change with the greatest density loss noted medially at the proximal levels (33% and 36%). The 3rd case had porotic cortical bone in the normal ...
Bone mineral density predicts non-spine fractures in very elderly women To determine the ability of bone density to predict fractures in very elderly women, we examined the association of bone density with non-spine, hip, wrist... MC Nevitt,O Johnell,DM Black,... - 《Osteoporosis ...
Muscle strengthening exercises are promoted for building and maintaining a healthy skeleton. We aimed to investigate the relationship between muscle strength and areal bone mineral density (BMD) at the hip in women aged 26–97 years. This cross-sectional
RESULTS: A total of 18 effect sizes were derived from six studies. Using a fixed-effects model and bootstrap resampling (5,000 iterations) overall changes in bone density at the hip yielded an average effect size of 0.43 (95% CI = 0.04 to 0.81), equivalent to an overall change of ...
