Several small studies have suggested that sarcoidosis may be associated with low bone mineral density (BMD). We undertook a cross-sectional study of BMD in 64 patients with sarcoidosis. Of these, 27 with 25-hydroxyvitamin D<50 nmol/L entered a 1-year intervention study of vitamin D ...
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 ...
1). After adjusting for age, the prevalence of NWCO by WC across all demographic, socioeconomic, geographic and behavioural groups increased dramatically from 1993 to 2011 (Table 1). Figure 1 Sex-specific age-standardized prevalence of normal weight central obesity in the general Chinese adults,...
A Normal Reference of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Measured by Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry in Healthy Thai Children and Adolescents Aged 5–18 Years: A ... A normal reference of bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in healthy thai children and adolescents...
This study was designed to determine age- and gender-based normative values for spinal bone mineral density (BMD) in a Chinese population. In addition, we compared our data with those of other countries and populations. Four hundred and forty-three healthy Chinese subjects, aged 10–79 years ...
Objective To appreciate use of different spinal bone densitometry, we compared results of spinal bone mineral density (BMD) measured by quantitative CT (QCT) and dual Xray absorptiometry (DXA) in normal subjects. Methods Four hundred and fortythree healthy subjects (189 males, mean age 46.9 years...

The duration and dose of glucocorticoid therapy and relative skeletal muscle index (an indicator of sarcopenia) were also analyzed as parameters to predict bone health.This case–control study included 23 patients (7 male and 16 female) and 20 controls (8 male and 12 female) matched by age ...
The bone mineral content (BMC) and the bone mineral areal content (BMAC) were determined with dual-photon absorptiometry in the third lumbar vertebra in a random sample of 214 women between 35 and 80 years of age in the city of Goteborg, Sweden. A continuous aging decrease (1%/year) of ...
Age-Related Bone Mineral Density, Accumulated Bone Loss Rate and Prevalence of Osteoporosis at Multiple Skeletal Sites in Chinese Women We investigated the age-related bone mineral density (BMD), accumulated bone loss rate (ABLR) and the prevalence of osteoporosis at different skeletal site... EY...
