Hand Osteoarthritis Associated With Significant Disability in Postmenopausal Women
Researchers aimed to study the prevalence of hand osteoarthritis and its association with disability in women older than 55 years.
Resistance Training May Improve Bone Health for Vegans
Bone microarchitecture differs for vegans versus omnivores, but these differences are attenuated for participants reporting resistance training.
Anti-Müllerian Hormone May Predict Rapid Bone Mineral Density Loss During Perimenopause
Investigators assessed whether low anti-Müllerian hormone levels are associated with bone loss in women experiencing the menopause transition.
Eating 6 Prunes a Day Prevents Bone Loss in Patients With Osteoporosis
Eating prunes daily may protect against bone loss, osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
Bone Mass, Microarchitecture Impaired in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease Undergoing Dialysis
A team of investigators conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate trabecular and cortical parameters of the radius and tibia in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis.
Skeletal Muscle Mass Measurement May Predict Risk for Hip Fracture Among Older Men
A team of researchers investigated whether low muscle mass as assessed via D3-creatine dilution may be associated with risk of fracture.
Nonoperative Management of Frail Patients With Proximal Femoral Fracture
Investigators assessed nonoperative management vs operative management of proximal femoral fractures in institutionalized frail older patients with limited life expectancy.
High Levels of Body Fat Mass Related to Lower Bone Density in Men
Researchers sought to assess the relationship between body composition and bone mineral density in patients of diverse backgrounds with a various range of weight and body composition.
First Major Bone Fracture Linked to Risk for Second Fracture in Women
Major osteoporotic fracture and hip fracture are predicted by several measurements. Investigators examined whether recent fractures could also be used to predict future fractures.
