Low Physical Function, Lean Body Mass Predict Accelerated Bone Loss After Hip Fracture
Lower physical function and lean body mass are associated with increased risk for accelerated bone loss in older patients with previous hip fracture.

Abaloparatide Effective for Younger Postmenopausal Women at High Fracture Risk
Abaloparatide treatment significantly increases bone mineral density in younger postmenopausal women at high risk for fracture.
Osteoporotic Fracture Risk Lower With DOACs Than Warfarin in Atrial Fibrillation
For patients with atrial fibrillation, the risk for osteoporotic fracture appears to be lower with direct oral anticoagulant use compared with warfarin use.
Pneumonia Risk Lower With Nitrogen-Containing Bisphosphonates
For patients with hip fracture, receipt of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates is associated with a lower risk for pneumonia and pneumonia mortality.
Low-Dose Denosumab May Be Effective in Maintaining BMD in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis
Researchers evaluated the efficacy of low-dose denosumab for maintaining bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
Bisphosphonate Drug Holiday Not Associated With Increased Fracture or Mortality Risk
Fracture and mortality risk are not significantly different between periods of ongoing bisphosphonate treatment and bisphosphonate holidays.
Bone Health Declining in US Adults With and Without Prediabetes
The bone health of adults older than 40 years of age is declining for individuals both with normal glucose regulation and prediabetes.
Low Vitamin D May Reduce Mobility After Hip Fracture Surgery
Vitamin D deficiencies are associated with a lower likelihood of older patients regaining independent walking ability following hip fracture surgery.
Overweight or Obese BMI in Preschool Associated With Increased Fracture Risk
Overweight and obesity during preschool age are associated with increased risk for fracture in childhood.
