Introduction Several small studies have suggested that sarcoidosis may be associated with low bone mineral density (BMD). Methods 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 ...
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 ...
It has been suggested that central obesity (or abdominal obesity), generally assessed by anthropometric measurements such as waist circumference (WC), waist to height ratio (WHtR) and waist to hip ratio (WHR), more accurately describes the distribution of body fat and better predicts obesity-...
Digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR) is a technique to estimate bone mineral density (BMD) that can be available in any area able to take a standard radiograph of the hand. We aimed to establish the precision of this technique and compare this with that obtained by dual energy X-ray absorp...
Bone density reduction in various measurement sites in men and women with osteoporotic fractures of spine and hip: the European quantitation of osteoporosi... We have measured bone mineral density (BMD) using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the spine and hip, spinal quantitative computed tomog...
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the age-related changes of intestinal calcium absorption, bone mass, and bone turnover in normal men. In 70 normal males (age 17-91 years), we measured spinal and forearm bone density (FBD) (by DXA), fractional intestinal calcium ...
Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured at the hip and lumbar spine using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. The levels of NTX were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Overall, the levels of NTX increased slightly with age in men and in estrogen users and more dramatically in non...
Bone density is higher in cam-type femoroacetabular impingement deformities compared to normal subchondral bone - ScienceDirect SummaryObjective Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) deformities have been associated with early osteoarthritic degeneration of the hip. Degenerati... A.D.,Speirs,and,....
Analyses were stratified by age decade.ResultsAmong women with prior (n = 4649) or incident (n = 2547) fracture, bone status assessed by both BMD and TBS was normal in only 6% and 4%, respectively. In women with prior or incident hip fracture, normal bone was present in < 1%. The ...
